Healthy Smoothie - Oatmeal, Spinach & Berries

If you've been following along at home, you know I'm a sucker for a good smoothie.  This week I decided to add a few ingredients to one of my favorite mixtures of fruit to make it healthier, and loved what I ended up with.  Adding oats and spinach to the already delicious list of ingredients makes this a fantastic breakfast! I was SO full after drinking mine!


All you need is:

1 medium banana
5-6 strawberries
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup yogurt (I used strawberry Chobani)
1/4 cup oats (I used Old Fashioned Quaker Oats)
1-1.5 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup water (or more)


Then just fill your blender and blend until smooth!  I gave it a little longer than usual to make sure the oats were pulverized.  :)


Even husband liked it!


Have fun switching out the fruit you use - I don't think you'll come up with a bad combination.

Enjoy!

    It actually looks pretty good considering it has dried oats in it :) For me, color is key, yours came out a very pretty shade of purple. OK, I'm going to try and make one this weekend!

      Let me know what you think! If you're worried about the oats, you could do 1/2 the amount (or just leave them out)...but they really help fill you up! :)

    This was great! I'm a newbie smoothie girl and I love finding new recipes. Mine came out green but I'm ok with the slime look.
