A healthy breakfast smoothie is a great way to start the day, and there’s no easier way to get fruit, tangy yogurt, AND oatmeal into your body than mixing up a quick smoothie in a blender.
The oatmeal (rolled oats) might sound strange, but quick-cooking oats go GREAT in a smoothie. They really help fill you up as well.
We like to use different fruit (pineapple and coconut, mango and peach etc) in our smoothies. Basically, whatever we have on hand is fair game.
If you have too many berries (is there such a thing?) simply throw them in a ziplock bag and freeze. You’ll have the makings of a smoothie anytime you need it.
I like to make smoothies ahead, kind of. I freeze yogurt mixed with honey in mini muffin tins. Then add the right sized portion of fruit and oatmeal to a ziplock, and all I need to do is add milk on the day I need a smoothie.
