Hi,
Because I'm basically a lazy cook and would rather cut step if possible, what happens if you just add uncooked oats...say after buzzing them in a food pro or blender first?

Thanks

Marty

Hi, Marty! I often add raw oats to my fruit smoothies, but, if you do that to this recipe, you'll just have a fruit smoothie with oats! Avena is traditionally made with cooked oatmeal, which gives the drink a "silky" quality. I use a microwave, which cooks the oats very fast. Also, this recipe makes 4 servings and will keep in the refrigerator for several days, so you don't have to cook oats for each serving.
