Snacktastic Saturday: Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

Do you ever have those rushed mornings when you're just starving? How about those afternoons when you're wondering how on earth you'll ever be able to make it to dinnertime without getting into the cookies? Yea, me too. Which is why I gave a twist to my breakfast smoothie one morning. And also why I drink it almost every afternoon. 
 
 
Of course this isn't necessarily a smoothie that requires measurements. If there's something in it you don't like, replace it with something else or only add a little bit. 
 
 
•cooked oats, any kind
•plain Greek yogurt
•ripe banana (go for the ones that are cheetah spotted)
•almond milk
•organic honey
•cinnamon or nutmeg
•almond butter
 
- Add all ingredients in a blender & blend away.

    1. It does have a bit of a texture from the oatmeal, but you could always put in just a bit of the oatmeal & add more milk.
