Avena Breakfast Smoothies image

One of the most delicious, thick, rich, creamy smoothies I've ever had! "Avena" means "oats." I got this recipe from the book Simply Delicioso, by Ingrid Hoffman.

Time 2h20m

Yield 6-8 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
6 cups milk, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more to taste
1 pinch cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the oatmeal 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 and cinnamon to taste and set the oatmeal aside to cool slightly.
  • Transfer the oatmeal to a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Strain the liquid, add the vanilla (if using), and add more milk if you want it thinner. Serve cold.
