Refresco de avena or cold oatmeal drink is a creamy, delicious blend of rolled oats, water, evaporated milk, and sugar. It is easy to make and comes together in 10 minutes or less. In the Caribbean, this delicious drink is enjoyed at any time of day, but especially in the morning along with pan con mantequilla (bread with butter) or a ham and cheese sandwich.
In the Dominican Republic, this refreshing drink is called jugo de avena and it is often mixed with fruit juice to enhance the flavor. Some popular add-ins are lime juice, passion fruit juice, and guava juice. If you enjoy cold, creamy drinks, check out my morir soñando de aguacate recipe!
If you want added fiber in your drink, don’t strain the mixture. Just make sure to blend the oats very well so the drink can be nice and smooth.
