Oats and Mango Breakfast Smoothie : WBB # 13

July 18, 2007

Shares

Oats and Mango breakfast smoothie combines the healthy goodness of oats with antioxidant rich seasonal mangoes for a quick breakfast in a glass for busy people!

For those of you who despise oats, I have one theory about oats. The simpler and blander an ingredient, the more you can dress it up, the more creative you can get. It’s like working on a blank canvas. Oats for me is one such blank canvas, it is just there to absorb any flavours you might care too add. This Oats and Mango Breakfast Smoothie in a glass is a two minute breakfast. With something as fast and healthy as this one on hand, you have no excuses for skipping the most important meal of the day.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 2 minutes mins
Total Time 17 minutes mins
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup oats quick cooking
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 mango ripe, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup milk skimmed
  • 2 tbsps jaggery powdered (or brown sugar)
  • 1 large pinch cardamom powder
  • 3 - 4 ice cubes

Method
 

  1. To prepare the oats and mango breakfast smoothie, soak the oats in 1 1/2 cups water in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 - 2 minutes till soft. If you have more time on hand, you could simply soak the oats in warm water for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Blend all the ingredients together along with the softened oats to make a thick smoothie and serve immediately.

Notes

Note: You could substitute the mango with papaya and use a spice of choice instead of cardamom, such as cinnamon or all spice powder. The oats supplies the fibre, mango is rich in beta carotene and fibre. Skimmed milk is rich in calcium without any additional calories from fat, jaggery is a natural, healthier sugar alternative - all of which make this a super-healthy breakfast option. Even if you are not an oats lover, the other flavours will more than compensate for it. This is a perfect option for those who have very hurried mornings.

This is my entry for WBB # 13 starring Oats at Madhuli's Foodcourt. If you are an oats believer too, go ahead, make something, post it and rush your entries to her before the 25th July. I shall be back from my holiday to check out the round of all healthy breakfasts.

    Ah in my early I-hate-oats phase I used to cover up the blandness by blending the goop with a ripe banana and drink it up warm. Heaven! 😀

    Great idea for healthy breakfast. I eat a lot of porridge but never thought of turning it into a smoothie!

    Nandita, I really like this idea because though I always want to increase my consumption of oats they are not really a high favourite in the form of porridge for me as I don’t like the their texture too much ,but I think as a cool milkshake it will be much easier to take in. I will have to use canned mango pulp though so I guess skipping the sugar will be good idea.
