Breakfast Oatmeal Smoothie
'Provides a good proportion of your daily fruit and vegetable intake.'
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1 apple or 1 pear
Small handful of berries such as blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or any combination
Good handful of spinach
Half a cup of almond milk
Cup of porridge oats
Method:
Blend all the fruit and spinach with the almond milk for around 20 seconds until smooth
Add the oats and blend for another 5 seconds. This ensures the oats are mixed but not completely blended
Poor into a glass or cereal bowl and eat with a spoon
This is such a great idea. I love fruit smoothies and oats, but really dislike porridge. This way I'm eating oats, which I know are very healthy and can lower cholesterol.
The recipe is so easy. I guess you could use any fruit with the spinach and banana too.
Thank you. Yes, it's absolutely versatile, it's finding what works for you in terms of taste.
You can also add chia seeds or flaxseed into the equation. And since the UK Government tell us we must at least 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, this will help.
