Super Smoothies

Lately I've been on a smoothie kick.  They make a great breakfast or a super healthy snack.  Here's a few of my favorite recipes (they each make two servings)

Ginger, Berry, and Oat Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries
• 1 cup low fat plain yogurt
• 1 cup ice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Take the oats and let them soak in the water for 10-15 minutes until they are soft. 

Then, put all of the ingredients (oats and water included) into a blender and blend until smooth.

 

Berry Nut Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
• 1 banana
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons honey

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

I like to make a few batches at a time and store them in the fridge in ziplock baggies.  Then, I've got breakfast or snacks in a snap!
