Late Summer Oat Milk Smoothie

[Only admins are allowed to see this link]
I really like the idea of adding oat milk to a breakfast smoothie, it contributes a nice, comforting feel to any sort of fruit shake and makes it a bit more hearty. Here, we combined it with a fig and grape smoothie. I've talked about my strong love for figs before - there are few things I look forward to more during late summer. And their taste combines so effortlessly and well with all the beautiful varieties of grapes that become available during this time of year.

Late Summer Oat Milk Smoothie
Oat milk
1 cup oat groats - preferably raw
3 cups purified water, plus some water for soaking the groats

Cover oat groats with purified water and leave to soak overnight. Drain and rinse. In a high-speed blender, combine the groats with 3 cups of water until very smooth. You should end up with a drinkable yogurt kind of consistency. Keep refrigerated. Add to smoothies or top with fruit for breakfast.

Oat Milk Smoothie Layer

Fig and Grape Smoothie

4 cups grapes - your favourite kind
1 cup ripe figs
