Good to know
Letting the oats sit briefly in the milk keeps the finished smoothie creamy rather than grainy.
Questions, answered.
Do the oats need to be cooked?
No. A short soak in the blender liquid softens rolled oats enough for a smooth drink.
How can I make it thicker?
Add another ¼ cup frozen blueberries or half a frozen banana, then blend again.
