Valentine's GF Vegan Smoothies: Creamy Spiced Banana N' Oat and Creamy Mango N' Oat

Hello Lovelies!

Today we are celebrating Valentine's Day, with Smoothies that say I looooooooove you AND I want you to stay healthy so you can be around for a looooong time.

Romantic and caring in one sip of yumminess. I say, DO IT!!!!!!!!

I know you saw Oats in the title and may have gone, whoa la!

Fear not, for I used gluten-free oats and was quite happy. I will say that some people have a reaction to the proteins in oats even when they are GF, I personally indulge very rarely as I do not want to set any itchy rashes off, which oats that were not GF have done to me in the past. I have no problem with Mum's GF Oats and I can tell when I am a bit more sensitive, digestion-wise on a given day. That's when I omit them and use Maca powder or I cook the oats and use those instead. Explore and do what works best.

Creamy Spiced Banana N' Oat Smoothie

Ingredients:

1/2 Ripe Organic Banana

2 Tbsp GF Mum's Quick Cooking Oat Flakes or use 1 Tbsp Maca Powder

1 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Butter

1 Scoop Vanilla Protein of choice

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Pie Spice mix

1 Tbsp Grade B Maple Syrup

1 Cup Unsweetened Almond milk

Method:

-Place all in blender and blend for 30 seconds until smooth, add a bit of extra almond milk if too thick and serve immediately over ice.

I know there are some of you who need an alternative to bananas as not everyone can eat them, mangoes say love to me, so I am using them in this slight variation.
