Cinnamon Oatmeal Green Smoothie

I have to admit, this recipe was completely experimental. It was a throw in some of this, a little bit of that, and a pinch more if this type of morning. It was a success though! Today I introduce you to the cinnamon oatmeal green smoothie. The only thing I will do differently next time is soaking the oats in the almond milk overnight to soften them. You will need:

1 cup of Silk original almond milk

1/2 cup of fat free greek yogurt

1/2 a frozen banana

1/2 cup of old fashion oats

2 tbs. of brown sugar

2 tsp. of cinnamon

1 tsp. of vanilla extract

1 tbs. of Splenda

1 cup of baby spinach 

 

 

 (Please excuse the garage picture, I was in a hurry this morning!)

 

If you like smooth, thin smoothies, this may not be for you. This was thick, and a little bit gritty, but I personally did not mind it. Like I said earlier, next time I will soak the oats in the almond milk overnight to soften them!

 

All in all, this came out to 18 grams of protein and 294 calories!
