I know I should be making pumpkin recipes, I know I should say goodbye to summer, I know it’s almost getting too cold to be having smoothies, but…I just can’t help it!
The thing is, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a HUGE bag of raisins so that I could make oatmeal raisin cookies (can you believe I have never made any in my life??) but school keeps getting in the way of cookie making.
But getting food fixes is way easier when I have a blender. Instead of cookies, I can just make a smoothie!
I was a little hesitant at first. I mean, I once ordered a blueberry smoothie at a restaurant and it tasted like garlic then later a hint of blueberry, which totally freaked me out, because I thought I stepped into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and I was going to turn into a giant blueberry.
But I’ve got to say, this smoothie turned out great! Who needs cookies when I have this smoothie? Drink up!
The funny thing is, no one wanted to drink this Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Smoothie but me. Everyone said that it looked like puke.
I don’t know, I don’t see it. But that just means more for me, right?
This recipe only uses 5 ingredients, and it is ready in under 5 minutes.
So there is really no excuse NOT to make it. This will definitely be going on repeat in my house!!
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oats
- 2 medium bananas, cut into coins and frozen
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp raisins
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender, and puree until smooth.
That’s such a fun idea for a smoothie!! Do you think I can make it without freezing the banana first?
You definitely can, it just won’t be as thick.
My family loves smoothies in the afternoon for treats, this oatmeal cookie smoothie is a great version of one of our favorite cookies!
One of my favourite cookies too! Thanks Sharon 🙂
I can have this smoothie right away! I often make oatmeal smoothies and love it.
It’s the best, right?
This looks so creamy! I’ve never tried oatmeal in smoothies but I like oat milk so I think I’m gonna like this!
I wouldn’t have thought that it was good either until I tried it 🙂
This would be a first for me. I’ve never had anything like this before!
I hope you give it a go! It is so good 🙂
