Blend oats into a smoothie and skip the sugar. A drinkable low calorie breakfast for mornings when you need fuel but not the heavy feeling.
Add rolled oats to a blender and process on high for 20-30 seconds until a fine powder forms, ensuring even blending.
Add unsweetened almond milk, banana, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the oats in the blender.
Blend on medium-high speed for 45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and the banana is fully incorporated.
Add ice cubes and blend for an additional 25-30 seconds on high until the smoothie is thick, cold, and the ice is completely crushed.
Pour immediately into glasses to serve and enjoy. For best texture, consume within 10 minutes to avoid oat thickening.
