Banana Oat Smoothie


I saw this recipe a long time ago in Martha Stewart's Everday FOOD and I've been dying to make it ever since, so today I finally did. This is the heartiest smoothie I've ever had in my life, and of course I changed the recipe some. So, in a blender combine:

1/4 c old fashioned oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 c peanut butter
1 banana chopped
1/2 c milk (cow's or soy or almond or hemp or whatever you like)
2 t honey
1/4 t cinnamon

Blend until smooth. Makes one serving. Drink immediately or store in the fridge until ready.

It took me maybe 5 minutes from start to finish including cleanup. For a breakfast or snack that's completely healthy and filling this is perfect. And it tastes great too! The banana really comes through so make sure you use a ripe one so your whole smoothie isn't bitter. And since there's nothing frozen in here it won't melt. Enjoy!
