Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie – If you’re looking for a heart healthy, dairy-free breakfast loaded with fiber you can eat on the run, this is it!
Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie
I absolutely love healthy smoothies for a quick breakfast. 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! I’ve made it with pumpkin, but I was curious to see what would happen if I added blueberries and banana to make it a smoothie. The outcome was really good. I added some raw sugar to sweeten it. You can 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.
