Morning Power Smoothie

Smoothies are delicious meals you can drink. They’re nutritious fillers that combine a number of ingredients you would not eat otherwise in the course of a day. The fruit that goes into a smoothie give you the vitamins and minerals you need. Here’s a yummy recipe you can whip up to kickstart your day.

This hearty mix has cooked oatmeal and enough protein to fill you up and keep you satisfied till lunchtime. Oatmeal is a great source of complex carbohydrates that will give you the sustained energy you need to keep you going all morning.
