Directions
Combine oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, banana, milk, baking powder, vanilla and salt in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth.

Tips
Pour the batter into a pitcher and mix in flavour additions such as frozen blueberries or raspberries, chopped fresh strawberries or mini chocolate chips by hand.
Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
If batter thickens upon standing, add a little extra milk and re-blend until pourable.
