Orange Creamsicle Oatmeal Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup (30 g) rolled oats
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) pure orange juice
• 1 medium-size (~150 g) orange, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 medium-size (100 g) ripe banana, frozen
• 1 – 2 tsp sweetener (maple syrup, cane sugar, etc.)

Direction

1. The night before, add the oats, orange juice, orange slices, and vanilla to the bowl of your blender and give it a stir to ensure that everything is well combined. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
2. The next morning, remove your blender bowl from the fridge and add the frozen banana chunks. Blend on high until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached, adding a splash of juice if the smoothie is too thick for your liking. Transfer it to a bowl or glass, add desired toppings, and enjoy!
