Ingredients

• 3 Bananas
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cup Oats
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 cup Ice

Steps

1. Use very ripe bananas — spotted and sweet. They blend creamier and need less honey.
2. Blend the bananas, milk, oats, honey, and cinnamon until completely smooth, then add the ice and blend again until thick and frosty.
3. The oats make it substantial enough to count as breakfast; the cinnamon makes it taste like dessert. Both statements are true.
4. Taste and adjust: more honey for sweetness, more milk if it is too thick to drink comfortably.
5. Pour into tall glasses and dust with a little extra cinnamon.
6. Drink immediately — vitamina waits for no one, and the banana oxidizes if it sits.
