Blueberry Oat Smoothie — Breakfast in a Glass

Oats in a smoothie sounds unusual until you try it. They blend completely smooth and add a heartiness that makes this drink genuinely filling. The blueberries bring color, antioxidants and a gentle tartness that balances the mild sweetness of the banana.

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 banana
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Soak the oats in the almond milk for 5 minutes before blending — this makes them blend smoother. Add all ingredients to the blender and blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds. The smoothie will be thick and creamy. Top with a few fresh blueberries and serve immediately.
