Strawberry-Banana Oat Drink — A Creamy Snack for 2-Year-Olds

⚠️ Contains allergens: milk, gluten
Ingredients
- 1 medium Ripe banana
- 1 cup Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 3 tablespoons Fine rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons Plain full-fat yogurt
- 0.5 cup Full-fat milk
Directions
- 1
Put the fine oats in a small bowl, add a few tablespoons of milk and let them soak for 5-10 minutes; this softens the oats and helps the drink turn out smoother.
- 2
Peel and slice the banana. Hull and wash the strawberries; if using frozen ones, let them soften at room temperature for a few minutes.
- 3
Add the banana, strawberries, soaked oats, yogurt and the remaining milk to a blender.
- 4
Blend until smooth and creamy. For a thinner drink, add a little more milk a bit at a time; make sure no large pieces remain.
- 5
Pour it into a cup or a lidded mug suited to your little one. If it is very cold, let it sit for a few minutes to reach a mild, cool temperature.
- 6
Serve it right after making it, while your little one is seated and you are nearby. You can also make it a little thicker and offer it with a spoon.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Banana sweetens the drink without any added sugar thanks to its natural sweetness and potassium, while strawberries add vitamin C and a lively color; oats bring fiber and slow-release energy that make this little cup more filling. Yogurt and milk add calcium and a bit of protein to balance it. Because everything is blended, the pieces become smooth; still, make sure your 2-year-old can swallow this texture comfortably.
Maiyko's note
In the Maiyko kitchen we love drinks made with fresh, in-season and simple ingredients whenever possible; this oat-and-fruit drink needs no added sugar or honey, because ripe banana provides all the natural sweetness on its own. If you like, you can use frozen strawberries and let the texture thicken slightly.
