Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

Makes 1-2 servings

This smoothie is packed with fiber, healthy fats and protein and will lay a great foundation for your day by keeping you satisfied for hours!  This smoothie is also perfect to add in a little bit of green with avocado or spinach.  The avocado will make the smoothie even creamier and neither the avocado or the spinach will change the taste at all. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats 
  • ½ cup organic plain yogurt (I used organic Wallaby)

  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
  • 3-4 ice cubes
  • ½ avocado (optional)
  • ½ cup spinach (optional)
  • chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation:

  • Add all smoothie ingredients to high-powered blender and blend until creamy and smooth. 
  • Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top. (Optional)
  • Enjoy!
