Banana-Oat Smoothie

I've been really into smoothies recently, but I always seem to make the same kind. So today I decided to look for a new recipe. Somewhere recently I'd come across the idea of a banana oat smoothie and so this morning, after a quick google search I came across this recipe. I often find when looking for new recipes that I have to go buy half of the ingredients at the grocery store before making it, hence why I seem to rely on the old standbys. This recipe surprised me, we had everything it called for, it was super easy to make, and delicious. Thanks Martha!
I left out the cinnamon because I'm not a huge fan. I did find another recipe that suggested adding a bit of vanilla and I thought about trying that instead, although, after drinking this one I might just leave it as is.



  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1 banana, cut into thirds
  • 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

So, if your looking for a healthy mid morning snack, make one of these delicious drinks and then sit down at the computer and search for another easy recipe that you can walk into the kitchen and make in 5 minutes. :-)
