I added oatmeal for a specific purpose, to add extra nutritional value & flavour to my smoothie. Oatmeal is a good source of dietary fiber, protein, many vitamins & minerals. I always prefer well ripe banana to make the smoothie sweeter and smoother. I love to add some nuts or dry fruits also to my banana smoothie like soaked almonds, cashews & raisins or dates to make it more nutritious and tastier.
