Healthy Oatmeal Smoothie

Let me give you a little lesson in evolution.

First this smoothie was just banana with overnight oats and a lil‘ bit of water blended together. Pretty good.

Then, my sister got involved and we added orange. This step made the whole thing about a million times more delicious and super super fresh.

And then my brother in law came into the picture and suggested we add some cinnamon. Now we’ve got a twist in the story.

Cinnamon? What does he even know? I’m pretty sure his taste buds have retired. I tried his suggestion anyway, because I try everything.

Now I have so much more respect for my brother in law and his taste buds. Because this smoothie is even more perfect with a little bit of cinnamon. I already knew this from cutting my own bangs when I was 14, but it’s true what they say: You live and you learn.

How To Use Oats In Your Smoothies

Oats are a great addition for breakfast smoothies as they contain a good amount of protein and fiber. This, in turn, will make your smoothie more filling and satisfying for breakfast.

One way you can use oats in a smoothie is to let them soak overnight and then blend them with a milk of your choice or in water.

Once you have a smooth consistency add whichever other ingredients you wish to the smoothie. Banana, peanut butter, almond butter, strawberries, mango, cinnamon or vanilla are all great additions.
