2. Place the oats in the blender with the milk and let them soak for 2 minutes to soften. No cooking is required; keep any warm ingredients away from temperatures above 40°F/4°C so the smoothie stays nicely chilled.

5. Taste and adjust the honey if you want a sweeter profile. Serve immediately in two chilled glasses.
Chef tips
For a silkier texture, freeze the plum pieces for 30 minutes before blending. If you want a deeper flavor, chill the grapes as well.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with maple syrup in the same amount. Plain yogurt can be swapped for Greek yogurt for a thicker smoothie. Whole milk may be replaced with reduced-fat milk or oat drink, keeping in mind that allergens and dietary tags will change.
