Join the discussionMmm, I’ll have to try this one!
Instead of the buttermilk, do you think you could use the whey leftover from making yogurt? Would you still let it soak overnight on the counter?
Yes, that would work also.
Any ideas for something other than buttermilk?
You can use plain yogurt or whey. Even just warm water will work, but the cultured options work better and provide you with a nice little shot of probiotics.
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to make my own oatmeal smoothie!
Sounds delicious! Could you use steel cut oats in place of the rolled oats?
Is there something I could use instead of the banana? My husband is allergic 🙁
You can just add extra of whichever fruit you have chosen. I also used avocado for the first time in a smoothie a few days ago, and the texture was similar while giving it only a mild flavor.
Do these turn out if I do the oats and milk overnight, then blend everything and freeze? I’d rather have them ready to go the morning of.
You could definitely do that Lindsey!
Would there be any issue making this ahead of time and then freezing them? I don’t want to have to break out my blender every day. I’d rather just do it once for a big batch.
Yes, you most certainly could make them ahead cooked and freeze as well.
In my do ahead directions it said to put the bananas in the freezer. It did not say to peel the bananas or cut them in half. Both are impossible to do to frozen bananas.
If you are going to make this I highly suggest you peel and cut the bananas in half before you freeze them.
I’m so sorry for that confusion. I will pass this along so corrections can be made.
I am wondering about soaking overnight on the counter vs in refrigerator. I have not used buttermilk before but the thought of letting anything dairy sit out overnight concerns me.
For people who enjoy culturing, soaking the oatmeal overnight reduces the phytic acid. You can absolutely still thaw this in the fridge, though. We hope this helps!
