Equipment

Blender

Ingredients

¼ cup rolled oats
2 tbsp hemp seeds
¼ cup plant milk
⅓ cup vegan yogurt, plain or vanilla flavored I used coconut yogurt from Forager
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 frozen bananas sliced
1 cup ice cubes or more frozen banana or 100G of frozen coconut smoothie pack (1 package)

Instructions

To a blender, add the rolled oats, hemp seeds, milk, yogurt and vanilla extract. Let it sit and soak in the blender for at least 10 minutes (this will help soften and blend the oats).
Then, add the frozen bananas and ice cubes and blend until smooth. If you have a Vitamix, then use the tamper to help blend the thick mixture. If you have a regular blender, then you will need to take a few breaks and use a spatula to mix and bring the thick smoothie mixture back towards the blades. Be patient and try to avoid adding more liquid.
Scoop into 2 bowls and top with your favorite topping ingredients, such as granola, berries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, cacao nibs, peanut butter, etc.
