Delicious morning smoothie with oldfashioned oats, pumpkin and spice. Great breakfast meal replacement (350 calories) and high in natural protein and fibre. Perfect for (not just...) autumn!
1cupplant based milkoats, soya, rice or almond milk
1/4cupwaterboiling water to cover the oats
1/4cupold fashioned oatsany kind will do
1teaspoonpumpkin pie spice
1cupfresh pumpkinor use 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
pinch salt
3teaspoonsmaple syrupdate or rice syrup is also fine to use
1teaspoonfresh lemon juice
Instructions
Put the oats in the blender and pour boiling water over them, just to cover the oats and a little bit more. Leave for 10 minutes or more if you have the time. This helps to soften the oats and makes them easier to digest (you can also do this the night before)
Add all the other ingredients.
Blend until all ingredients are smoothy mixed.
Taste and add adjust the flavour to your liking. I sometimes add more pumpkin puree or extra maple syrup.
