Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie

Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie

It didn't occur to me until I sat down to write this post that I'm sharing back-to-back oatmeal cookie goodness this week. The competition is fierce, but I promise this smoothie is just as worthy of your attention as Monday's soft and chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars.

Take a gander...

Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie

To make it, you'll start by soaking old-fashioned rolled oats and raw almonds in boiling water for just 10 minutes. Soaking helps soften the oats and the nuts for easy blending, plus (and perhaps more importantly) it aides digestion.

You'll add the oats and almonds to a blender along with frozen bananas, unsweetened almond milk, ground flax, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt (to pop the flavors and sweetness). Blend for a minute or two and give it a taste. Enjoy as is or if you want a richer, sweeter smoothie, add a medjool date or two and blend again. The dates offer a caramel-like flavor and an extra pop of sweetness that really brings out that oatmeal cookie vibe. Get sipping.

Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie

This oatmeal cookie smoothie packs a punch of dietary fiber, healthy fats, and omega-3s. To make it, you'll blend soaked oats and almonds, frozen bananas, almond milk, flaxseed meal, vanilla, sea salt, cinnamon, and dates in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy. The bananas and dates naturally sweeten the smoothie, offering it a truly cookie-like finish.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, raw almonds, and boiling water and let stand for 10 minutes to soften the oats and plump the almonds. Strain and rinse.

    Ashley this is delicious! I meant to take a picture for Instagram but I sorta drank it first. Oops. I did add one date but I'm not sure it needed it. It really did taste like an oatmeal cookie! Two thumbs up!
