Ingredients and Method to make Banana Strawberry smoothie
1/4 cup 1 minute oatmeal cooked until soft (I microwaved it with 1/2 cup of water for a couple of minutes)
1/4 cup almonds
3 tbsp chia seeds
3 large bananas cut into small pieces
6 large strawberries cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp brown sugar (or to taste)(optional, can be substituted with white sugar)
Cook 1 minute oatmeal in the microwave until soft and keep aside.
Soak chia seeds in a little bit of milk for a few minutes and keep aside.

In a large bowl, add all the ingredients including cooked oatmeal and chia seeds + milk. Using a hand blender blend everything together until smooth. Alternatively add all the ingredients to a large blender jar and blend until smooth. Chill and serve chilled. Refrigerate balance if any and use up within a couple of days.
Suggested Variation:
This smoothie can also be made with bananas and pears. Just substitute the strawberries in this recipe with 1 large pear de seeded and cut into small pieces and puree along with bananas and other ingredients. Optionally add 1 tsp vanilla extract for this quantity of smoothie for a little additional flavor.
