Strawberry Banana Lemon Ginger Smoothie

I just tried making this drink for breakfast this morning and I have to say - it is delicious! It is a tad bit sweet though, so I probably would label this as more of a dessert drink than a breakfast smoothie. But nonetheless, here's the recipe anyway:

Ingredients:

  • 1 large banana, sliced
  • 5-6 whole strawberries 
  • 1/4 cup almond milk 
  • 1 1/2 cups lemon ginger tea, steeped for 5+ minutes
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder (optional) 
  • 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
Blend using a blender or a food processor until well mixed. It's okay if your blender doesn't completely grind up the oats all the way - it gives the smoothie a nice texture! If you would like to make the smoothie vegan, simply add more maple syrup in replace of the honey.
