Good Morning, FS Warriors! It's a dreary and cool day here in Central Illinois. I am hoping that the sun comes out and it does not rain again. I've got most of my mowing done, but I still have some work to do outside at the church.
I made my first breakfast smoothie from scratch this morning - a Strawberry-Oatmeal smoothie. It wasn't bad. I don't know if it is any healthier than what I normally eat, but it was probably more. The recipe was for two servings, but of course I drank it all. Here is the recipe if anyone is interested:
1 cup of soy milk
1/2 cup of rolled oats
14 frozen strawberries
1 banana broken into chunks
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar
I didn't have soy milk; I had non-fat milk. Why 14 frozen strawberries, and not 13 or 15, I have no idea. I had pretty small ones that the neighbor grew. If I put 14 strawberries in it, like the ones that DW picks up at the grocery store, they probably wouldn't fit in the blender. I didn't have any bananas, so I didn't use any. Found a container of Old Fashioned Oats in the pantry; I guess they are the same as rolled oats. DW had a bottle of vanilla flavoring in the cabinet; I guess it's the same as vanilla extract. In any case, it tasted pretty good, filled me up and I am ready to meet whatever the day brings.
BTW, I got this recipe from KitchMe.com; one of my friends had posted it on Facebook. Tomorrow I go to a Nazarene convention all day, so I need to get cracking and get some work done. Here's hoping everyone has a great day. Toodles!
