Notes
Note 1: Peel and slice the banana into coins, place in freezer-safe containers or bags, and freeze overnight. Having a completely frozen banana (as opposed to an unfrozen one) is what makes this smoothie. (I like to prep the bananas right after my grocery store run so I don’t forget!)
Storage: This Oatmeal Smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, pour them into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 day. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking!
