Spiced Oats Buttermilk
Spiced Oats Buttermilk is a cooling, protein & calcium rich drink that you can drink to keep yourself hydrated during these hot summers! Or better yet, drink it all the time for a naturally healthy and filling drink!
You know those times when you just indulge way too much and want nothing more than a quick fix to flush all that out?
Uh huh. That happens. All.The.Time.
What is your fix? A detox smoothie? Or some lemon juice maybe? For me, it is usually a glass of buttermilk (for you baking fanatics, this doesn’t refer to the one that you make by curdling milk with vinegar). We call it More or Chaas in India and make it by diluting plain yogurt. 
This spiced smoothie like drink is made using oats and plain yogurt. It is a 100% natural and a very good source of protein and calcium! It is so filling that you can have this as a mid meal in itself. It is also a great post-workout drink. Having so many obvious health benefits and flavors so fantastic, this spiced oats buttermilk is a breeze to make!
