Chew on This | Crazy Cooking Challenge - Smoothies


Photobucket

It's that time again! 

Time to search the web for a recipe that speaks to us.
Re-create that recipe and share it here with all of you.

This month - Smoothies!


Strawberry season came early, early, early this year. So when we took
a trip to the orchard two days ago to pick up some fresh goodness, we were told that
the picking season was just about finished.

The kids and I grabbed as many strawberries as our hands (and buckets)
could hold. We were greedy and unstoppable.


They're so delicious! And perfect for Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothies.
I found a simple recipe at Money Saving Mom.


While the kids were still sleeping this morning I made this healthful recipe.
It was love at first sip.

Here's the recipe:
Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie
(recipe via Money Saving Mom)
1 C ice
1/2 C strawberries
1/2 C plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt)
1 frozen banana
1/2 C old-fashioned rolled oats
1 T honey (I used agave nectar)
1 C milk (I used almond milk)

Place ice and strawberries into your blender. Add the remaining ingredients on top and blend until completely smooth. Serve immediately. Serves 2-4.

  3. I plan to go strawberry picking tomorrow morning and I think I'll have to make this smoothie. Does the oatmeal add a lot of texture to the smoothie?

  4. I can't wait to go pick in September some berries. I have vowed to make smoothies once a day all summer long, breakfast or a dinner substitute on hot summer days and I can't wait to try ALL of the Crazy Cooking Challenge recipes from this month. Thanks so much for participating.
