I absolutely love healthy smoothies for a quick breakfast. A few other favorites are my Bali Banana Date Smoothie, Kale Banana Hemp Chia Superfood Smoothie, and Roasted Strawberry Protein Smoothie.

In South America, it’s common to drink avena, a delicious oatmeal shake usually made with whole milk, cinnamon and sugar. My oldest daughter loves it, you can see my original recipe here. I’ve made it with pumpkin, but I was curious to see what would happen if I used unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk instead, along with blueberries and banana. The outcome was really good, I added some raw sugar to sweeten it, but you could even use stevia or whatever sweetener you would normally use.

This is best if you make it and drink it right away. If you only need one serving, cook all the oatmeal in water as instructed below, but use only half of the cooked oatmeal in the blender and save the other half for the next day.
