Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds
  • ¼ cup plant milk
  • ⅓ cup vegan yogurt, plain or vanilla flavored (e.g., coconut yogurt from Forager)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit & Ice

  • 2 frozen bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup ice cubes (or more frozen banana or 100g of frozen coconut smoothie pack – 1 package)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out the rolled oats, hemp seeds, plant milk, vegan yogurt, and vanilla extract. Slice the frozen bananas into manageable pieces if not pre-sliced for easier blending.
  2. Add to Blender: Combine the rolled oats, hemp seeds, plant milk, vegan yogurt, vanilla extract, frozen bananas, and ice cubes (or frozen banana/smoothie pack alternative) into a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even consistency. The mixture should be thick but blendable to create a bowlable texture.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Optionally, add toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use frozen bananas for a thicker and colder smoothie bowl texture.
  • Plant milk options include almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk depending on preference.
  • Choose vegan yogurt flavors like plain or vanilla to complement the smoothie’s taste.
  • Adjust the amount of ice cubes or frozen fruits to modify thickness.
  • For added protein and nutrition, consider adding additional hemp seeds or other superfoods as toppings.
