Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

Ingredients:

  • 500g Low Fat Glenisk Organic Natural Yogurt
    250g pitted dates
    ½ tsp vanilla extract
    2 cups of ice cubes
    2 tbsp of jumbo oatflakes

Method:

  • Dry fry the jumbo oat flakes on a non stick frying pan for 5 minutes until golden.  Keep shaking to make sure flakes get evenly toasted and don't burn.  Leave aside to cool.
    Alternatively the jumbo oat flakes can be dry roasted on a baking tray in an oven at 180°C for 20 minutes. Leave aside to cool.
    Purée the yogurt, dates and vanilla in a blender until smooth. 
    Then add the ice cubes to the blender and purée until mixture is thick and smooth. 
    Divide mixture between 2 tall glasses and sprinkle with the toasted oatflakes.  Additional oatflakes can be added to the body of the smoothie to make it really nutritious.
    Serve immediately.
