~Oatmeal Strawberry Banana Blend Smoothie ~

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

For many, oatmeal isn’t something you think of drinking but if you blend the oats finely in the blender before adding the ingredients, you won’t even think of them being there when drinking it. With all the added ingredients it becomes a rich, healthy and vegan smoothie. *That makes me sound like I’m one of the “in” crowd now– oh boy!* Anyway…

It took me awhile to be a smoothie groupie. I always thought they tasted like powder and had no flavor, and back in the day that was true. But once I got out my blender I got into making my own and discovered I can add whatever spices I wanted and now my thoughts have changed and now I feel like I am that cool chick who wears bell bottoms. So, I grabbed my blender this morning instead of having the usual oatmeal all warmed up and I made this to get on with the day instead. Change is groovy, eh?

Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 oz Strawberries Hulled & Frozen
  • ½ c Rolled Oats
  • 1 Banana
  • 1½ tsp Honey
  • 1 c Almond Milk or milk of your choice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Gather ingredients and weigh out strawberries.
  • In a blender, blend the oats until fine
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the blended oats and blend until smooth.
  • Add more milk or ice if desired.

That's it. That's how easy it is.

    Notes

    *If you want a colder drink freeze your berries before hand or just buy frozen strawberries.  That will make your smoothie colder.
    *Don’t be afraid to add more milk if you think it is too thick. 
    **  This recipe is good for approximately two 6-8oz drinks or 1 large drink.  I average about 1  with the glass I use.
     
    Enjoy.

    Playing on any smoothie recipe is the ticket to getting the flavors you like. Dance around and grab some spices like cinnamon and extracts out of the cupboard to really boost the flavor. Adding more berries will sweeten it up and if you don’t like the calories the honey gives, don’t add it all. In fact, the fruit sweetens it up just fine.

    I feel younger already…

    Well, maybe not but I still like to dance.

    From my kitchen,

    Enjoy.

    4. You like Almond Breeze too! I love the Vanilla version, so good. I don’t have a blender, but the idea of oatmeal mixed up with something until it’s smooth sounds delish!
