Yep, another peanut butter and banana smoothie. And oats yet again. I don’t know what I’d do without them. They are soooo good for you and great to help reduce cholesterol to keep your heart healthy. (It’s not just me saying that but the American Heart Association says wholegrains, including oats, are an important part of a healthy diet.)
And then all that extra fiber we’re having adds the fill-factor to my smoothies. I can go through to lunch without snacking.
Leigha, TheYooperGirl, love oats, too. Here’s what she says …
I couldn’t eat any solid food for two days after I got my braces so this [smoothie] is what I came up with as a replacement for my morning oats. It’s even easier to make since you don’t have to deal with heating up a pan or the microwave. All you have to do is toss everything in the blender, pour it in a cute mason jar, and you’re good to go! If you’re usually in a hurry in the morning like me, then this is perfect to take with you and drink on the go.
