A quickie smoothie recipe to start the week off right. The oats provide a little extra sustenance…Who knows what I will try next…a smoothie with flax seeds?!? To be continued, as always…

Recipe
Toasted Oat Smoothie
adapted, until almost unrecognizable, from the Joy the Baker Cookbook

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
• 1/2 – 1 cup frozen strawberries (about 5 large)
• 1 cup hemp, rice, almond, soy, or cow’s milk
• 1/4 cup toasted oats
• 1-2 tbsp agave nectar or honey

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Lay oats flat on a baking sheet. Let toast in oven for 5-10 minutes. (If you don’t have much time in the AM, you can skip this step). Add all ingredients to a blender and mix until smooth.
