Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

February 8, 2016 by mandyrecipebox

If you’re looking for a delicious smoothie recipe to add to your collection, you need this Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie recipe. It’s full of lots of good-for-you stuff and keeps you full!

Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

Have you all fallen off the eating healthier this year bandwagon? Were you ever on it? It seems to last about a month before everyone is over it. If you are a totally healthy eater, good for you and also, what are you doing on my blog? Just kidding. I only say that because if you look at my home page, you will see that there aren’t a lot of healthy recipes here. I am a moderation kind of girl. I will always eat sugar. Just not the whole batch of cookies. 

Strawbery Oatmeal Smoothie

I do love to throw healthy stuff into my food whenever I can. Take this smoothie for example. I love to add chia seeds, ground flax and today, oats. It’s just so good for you! All of it. Even the oats. I found some facts that prove it:

 Ground Flaxseed: Rich source of micronutrients, dietary fiber, manganese, vitamin B1, and the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, also known as ALA or omega-3.
Chia Seeds: Loaded with protein, fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids and various micronutrients. They are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet and I use them every chance I get!
Oats: Rich in a specific type of fiber called beta-glucan. This particular type of fiber is known to help lower levels of bad cholesterol.

One note about this smoothie- I use my BlendTec blender which is really powerful and blends the heck out of stuff so  this is really a smooth smoothie for me. If you have a less powerful blender, you made have more texture that what is shown in my photos. You can just let it blend longer if you want it really smooth.

    Just tried this recipe this morning (minus the flax only because I didn’t have any in my pantry) and LOVED it! It made more than I expected so I poured myself a glass and saved the rest for a treat later on this afternoon or for this evening. This will definitely be a staple in my morning quick breakfast routine! Thank you so much for sharing!
