We know you’re an absolute fashionista, but even the most fabulous of us get a case of the late-night munchies, am I right? And let’s be honest, we want our snacks to be as easy on our stomachs as they are on the eyes. That’s where bedtime smoothies swoop in to save the day! Think of them as the supermodel version of milkshakes, packed with all the fiber, protein, and micronutrients you need to gracefully glide into dreamland.
Now, get ready to salivate because we’ve got the recipe for the ultimate smoothie blend: the Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie! It’s like fashion for your taste buds, darling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (Almonds are the Audrey Hepburns of the nut world, after all)
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats (Giving you those cozy, grandma vibes)
- 1 cup frozen banana pieces (They’re the cool cats of the fruit family)
- 1 teaspoon almond butter (Fit for a queen, just like Beyoncé)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Bringing the essence of sweetness to your life)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for topping (Spicy yet sophisticated, just like a diva on the red carpet)
- Pinch of nutmeg (Adding a touch of warmth and luxury)
- Pinch of ground ginger (Ginger spice and everything nice)
- Pinch of salt (Bringing out the best in all the flavors, darling)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ashwagandha powder (optional) (Because even smoothies need a little zen)
- 1⁄2 cup ice (Chilling out never looked so fabulous)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon raw honey (optional) (For a touch of sweetness that would make Winnie the Pooh proud)
- Granola, for topping (optional) (The stylish accessory to your smoothie)
Directions
- In a high-speed blender, combine all the ingredients except the granola. It’s like throwing all your favorite fashion pieces into one fabulous closet!
- Blend for 45 to 60 seconds, until the oats are completely broken down and the mixture is creamy. Voilà! You’ve just created the smoothie equivalent of a million-dollar runway walk.
- Sprinkle with granola (if you want to take your smoothie to the next level) and cinnamon (because why not? Can you ever have too much cinnamon? We think not!). Now, it’s time to sip and savor the flavors, darling!
