Step-by-step
- Blend oats and almonds in a blender until powdery; add spinach, banana, yogurt, peanut butter, and cinnamon.
- Blend, gradually adding rice milk, until desired consistency is reached.
Processing dense items like whole grains and hard nuts requires specific sequencing to protect motor blades from strain. Start by pulverizing the oats and almonds alone until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency before introducing any liquids or soft produce.
Fresh spinach and a ripe banana follow the dry base, creating enough initial moisture to catch the blades without demanding excessive liquid immediately. Rice milk should be incorporated in a thin, steady stream through the lid opening while the machine runs on medium speed, allowing visual control over the final pourable thickness.
Peanut butter and yogurt emulsify best when added midway through the liquid addition, preventing thick pockets from adhering to the container sides. Ground cinnamon disperses evenly during this phase, avoiding localized clumps in the final glass.
Prepared portions can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to twenty-four hours in the refrigerator, though ingredients like oats will continue to absorb moisture and thicken the mixture significantly over time.
