Photo: Old-fashioned Avena Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal

Place the oats and milk in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until the oatmeal is thick, about 10 minutes. Add sugar, to taste, and set the oatmeal aside to cool slightly.
Transfer the oatmeal to a container and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight. Strain the liquid, add the vanilla and add more milk if you want it thinner. Serve cold.

I LOVE this recipe and have made it several times! I save the strained oatmeal and heat it up with a little milk (dairy or almond and add cinnamon and nutmeg and swear it tastes like rice pudding! I use it sometimes as my night snack. The avena smoothie is heaven though!! I also use the least amount of sugar (organic as possible. "Simply Delicioso"!
