This smoothie gives you lots of nutrition for a third of the fat and kilojoules of normal milkshakes. And it's a delicious way to take in more oat bran for soluble fibre. Great for hungry teens and very active people.
1 cup low-fat milk or soy drink
1 ripe banana, sliced
1 tablespoon honey or sugar
¼ cup oat bran or rice bran
few drops vanilla essence (optional)
Place all ingredients in a blender or processor. Process for 30 seconds or until blended and frothy.
