I made a few smoothies, and this banana-oat version is my favorite of the bunch. I’ve never made a smoothie with oats before and they did add a little bit of texture, but in a good way – I enjoyed it! The smoothie has a ton of protein so it keeps me full until lunch, which is among my most important considerations when it comes to any breakfast option. Plus, it’s super thick and creamy, so I can almost pretend I’m having a milkshake for breakfast.

Banana-Oat Smoothie
adapted from Martha Stewart
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 banana, cut into thirds
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
- pinch ground cinnamon
Directions:
In a blender, combine the oats, yogurt, banana, milk, 1 teaspoon of the honey, and the cinnamon. Blend until smooth. Taste and decide whether you’d like more sweetness – if so, add some or all of the remaining teaspoon of honey and blend again. Serve immediately.
Serves 1-2.
