Have you ever found yourself with leftover strawberries that aren't quite fresh anymore, or a banana that's almost overripe but still good enough to use? We've all been there, and instead of letting them go to waste, we can turn them into a delicious and light drink.

That's when we thought of blending these fruits with oats to create a fruity oat milk. The result? A refreshing, light, and aromatic drink that's perfect for any time of day!

Ingredients We'll Need

To make this fruity oat milk, we'll need a few simple ingredients you probably already have at home. Here's what we'll be using:

• 70g of strawberries

• 35g of banana

• 25g of raisins

• 10g of oats

• 250ml of water

These ingredients come together to create a sweet, mildly tangy drink that will make your taste buds dance.

Step-by-Step Process

Making fruity oat milk is super easy and quick. Here's how we can do it:

1. Prepare the Fruits and Oats

Start by washing the strawberries and cutting them into chunks. Then, peel the banana and slice it. Measure out the oats and raisins to have them ready for blending. The combination of oats and dried fruits will add a nice balance of texture and flavor to the drink.

2. Toss Everything into the Blender

Once the fruits and oats are ready, simply toss them all into your blender. Add the raisins as well, which will bring a touch of natural sweetness to the mix. No need for sugar – the fruits will do all the sweetening.

3. Select the Right Blender Setting

Now, it's time to blend everything. Choose the setting on your blender that includes both heating and blending functions (if available). This will help warm up the ingredients, creating a smooth and slightly warm milk-like texture.

4. Blend and Enjoy!

After blending everything, pour the fruity oat milk into a glass. It should be smooth and creamy with a light texture. The fruity aroma will fill the air, and when you take your first sip, you'll notice the mild tanginess from the strawberries, the sweetness from the banana, and the richness of oats and raisins. It's the perfect drink for a quick breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up, or even as a dessert alternative.

Why We Love This Drink?

This fruity oat milk isn't just delicious; it's also incredibly nutritious. The combination of oats and fruit gives us a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. The raisins provide a natural source of sugar, so we don't need to add any extra sweeteners. Plus, it's a great option for those who are looking for a dairy-free alternative that still tastes creamy and satisfying.

What's more, it's incredibly versatile. We can switch up the fruits depending on what we have on hand – mangoes, blueberries, or peaches would all make great additions. And if you're not a fan of raisins, you can always try other dried fruits like cranberries or dates.
