Strawberry smoothie is a great way to start your day. You can eat healthy oats in a smoothie too, without cribbing about its blandness. There is no cooking involved, hence even your kids can be involved in making it under your observation.
You can make strawberry banana smoothies in many ways. Some people love to use oat milk while others coconut water. Those who are not vegan may use yogurt or milk too.
Many people love to have protein shakes, so might add their protein powder to this recipe. To each his own I say, having a smoothie ensures you go out on a full tummy. That is important whether you are vegan vegetarian or non-vegetarian!

Make time for a quick breakfast before an early meeting and avoid eating those antacids, for curing acidity due to late breakfast. 5 minutes breakfast and yet a healthy, perfect start of the day for a hot summer morning. Good food recipes are made of these!!
This way of having oats is great for a no-cook meal. Whether you like to have it as overnight oats or as an addition to vegan chia pudding. Oats are great for breakfast. They help avoid constipation and acidity. Also, help in weight-loss.
I love to add oats to normal whole wheat flour while making roti. There is no change in taste and oats adds to nutrient profile. You can also add oats and all purpose flour during baking too.
