Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 1 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 1 months
  • Keep chilled and shake or blend again before drinking. Do not heat, because the texture and flavor will suffer.

Ingredient substitutions

Banana

  • Oat: Use only for body if banana is unavailable, since banana flavor will be much lower

Walnut

  • Oat: Keeps thickness but removes the nutty walnut character

Vanilla protein

  • Milk: Adds vanilla milkiness but greatly lowers the protein content

Cinnamon

  • Vanilla extract: Keeps a dessert like aroma but loses the warm cinnamon note

Oat

  • Banana: Makes the smoothie fruitier and less grainy

Milk

  • Water: Makes the smoothie lighter and less creamy
