In addition, this version only has healthy ingredients and can be served for breakfast, lunch or whenever you prefer. In addition, it contains ingredients such as banana, oats, almond milk and cinnamon, which are usually easy to find at home.

homemade banana shake

- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 large banana (preferably frozen)
- ¼ cup gluten-free oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5-6 ice cubes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Method of preparation

- Finally, finish beating at high speed for another minute. Now, just serve immediately without straining.
Tips
Be sure to carefully read what is written on the product packaging to ensure that the oats used in the recipe are gluten-free. This is necessary because, despite being naturally gluten-free, when produced, processed, packaged, stored or transported in the same environment as other gluten-containing products, it may become contaminated.
Also, remember to carefully read the packaging of the other ingredients and make sure that they also do not have any gluten or lactose content.
Finally, if you want, add a tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, 1/2 scoop of unflavored protein powder and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the recipe. However, it is worth noting that these ingredients will add extra calories to your shake.
