Blackberry and Oatmeal Malted Smoothie
This ice-cold blackberry smoothie made with oatmeal and malted milk powder is a great way to start the day.
This smoothie has two unique ingredients.
One adds to the richness, and the other that adds a delicious refreshing flavor to the mix.
About the Ingredients
One of these ingredients is malted milk powder which gives the smoothie a slightly sweet, creamy richness.
And the other unique ingredient is fresh mint which not only tastes wonderful with the berries, but also enhances the overall flavor of this blackberry and oatmeal smoothie.
About the Order of Ingredients
A rule of thumb is that liquids and soft ingredients go in first, and the harder ingredients go in last.
So, for example to the blender jar,
- First, add liquids such as juice, water or milk
- Second, add soft ingredients like yogurt, fresh (unfrozen) cut fruit and berries, or honey
- Then add items such as frozen cut fruit and berries, vegetables or nuts
- Lastly add the ice
When blending a smoothie, to avoid an air pocket from forming by the blade in the blender jar, there needs to be a good balance between the liquid and frozen ingredients (including ice).
About Serving
Smoothies are the best when served ice-cold.
When I’m taking pictures of smoothies to post on CCC, I try to hurry up so I can drink them because they look so darn good.
But by the time I’m done with the pictures they’re lukewarm at best and definitely don’t taste as good as when they’re ice cold.
So, if making this smoothie on a hot day, be sure to add more ice so that it stays nice and cold until the very last drop.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Blackberries, cooked and cooled oatmeal, banana, malted milk powder, almond milk (sweetened), ice cubes (or crushed ice), honey and fresh mint leaves
