Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 4 cups Water
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 units Dates, pitted and chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
• 1 cup Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Measure 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats and place them in a large bowl or container.

Step 2

Add 4 cups of water to the oats. Stir gently to mix.

Step 3

Allow the oats to soak in the water for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator. This helps to soften the oats and makes them easier to blend.

Step 4

After soaking, drain the oats and rinse them under cold water to remove any slime that has formed.

Step 5

Transfer the soaked oats to a blender. Add 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 6

Add the pitted and chopped dates to the blender for a natural sweetness, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Add 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the mixture for additional flavor.

Step 8

Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and frothy.

Step 9

Taste the bebida de avena and add up to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired. Blend again for a few seconds to combine.

Step 10

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a large jug or pitcher to remove any remaining solids.

Step 11

Serve the low sodium bebida de avena over a cup of ice cubes for a refreshing drink.

Step 12

Store any leftover drink in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before serving as natural separation may occur.
