Oatmeal + triple berry smoothie = absolutely delicious! For a quick breakfast in the morning, I have been making a lot of these breakfast smoothies. Another great thing is that these smoothies are full of healthy things, and let's face it, we all need some healthiness in our lives! I have been playing around with my recipe lately, mixing up a few different recipes that I have found.
Ingredients
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup low-fat yogurt
1 tsp flax seeds
1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
1 cup ice
1 cup milk
Directions
1. Place quick oats and flax seeds in a dry blender. Blend until oats are ground into a fine powder. This step is a must!!
2. Add the yogurt, ice, mixed berries and milk.
3. Cover and blend until smooth and creamy.
To mix things up a bit this morning, I added 1/2 cup of spinach to my smoothie. I was hesitant about the first few spoonful's, but once I got over the idea of having spinach in my smoothie, it was actually really good. To be honest, I couldn't really taste it, and neither could my boyfriend. To sweeten it up, I also added a spoonful of honey.
What's your favorite type of smoothie?
yumm! this looks so good! i try to make a 'green' smoothie every day for a meal (spinach, drinking yogurt, fruit and peanut butter) but i love the idea of oats in it as well! thanks for sharing! i'm going to be trying this out this week. new follower here!
ReplyDeleteI love adding the quick oats because it makes it much more filling. Just make sure you blend them first into a fine powder!!
DeleteI love mixed berries, kefir, flax, protein powder, and a frozen banana. Yummo! And my dessert smoothie is chocolate syrup (just a tad), pb, frozen cherries, frozen banana, flax, and milk. Helps satisfy those chocolate cravings without feeling ridiculously guilty!
ReplyDeleteYummm, a dessert smoothie sounds amazing!!
DeleteI eat a spinach smoothie every day for lunch. I love it! I like to experiment with different fruits...and so far my favorite has been: spinach, cranberries, bananas, and plain yogurt. Yum!
