This recipe I was suppose to post it in the Blogging marathon under the theme breakfast on the run,as I was ran out of brown sugar and dates I couldn't do it.This is a very healthy milkshake with oats and perfect for breakfast,I adapted the recipe from Saffola oats recipe booklet.I slightly tweaked the recipe to our taste buds and used a small banana to make it more healthy and filling.The recipe given is for single serving for a tall glass and here is my version.................

• The addition of honey or brown sugar is purely optional,as we have sweet tooth I used.
• Instead of cooking the oats it can be dry roasted and added but I like the cooked oats.
• Using the quick oats makes the cooking easier in the microwave.
• Fruits such as apple and strawberries can also used instead of banana.
