Similar to the popular Latin American drink from Quaker Frescavena . This oatmeal based beverage is nutritious and refreshing. My 18 month old daughter loves it and after not finding it anywhere in stores I had to come up with a way to make it myself EASILY. I love this because I can keep it on hand and scoop it into a glass of milk and its ready to go! Ingredients:
8 ounces gerber oatmeal cereal for baby |
1 cup granulated sugar |
Directions:
1. Empty 8 oz box of infant cereal into food processor. Using this cereal instead of rolled oats produces a finer grain that more easily dissolves in liquid, plus it is fortified with more vitamins and minerals.
2. Blend until the flakes are no longer visible and it becomes a fine powder (3-5 minutes).
3. Add sugar and blend again until it is mixed thoroughly and all the same fine powder consistency.
4. Add 2 tablespoons (add more or less to taste) of mixture to 8 ounces of milk or water and blend in a blender or shaker cup with 2 ice cubes and enjoy!
5. Optional additions: add vanilla, cinnamon or strawberry quick to final beverage. Can be served as a warm beverage as well.
