Fruit Nut and Oatmeal Smoothie

The smoothie is one of life’s great creations. Take a bunch of yummy whole foods, put them in a blender and create a delicious, filling and nutritious drink. It’s my favourite go-to breakfast or snack. This recipe is a new creation that is both tangy and sweet at the same time. I loved the way it turns into a pudding-like consistency and can be eaten with a spoon. Like a smoothie-bowl in a glass! If you love smoothie bowls this Fruit Nut and Oatmeal Smoothie makes the perfect base. Just top with your favourite nuts, seeds and fruits.

If you like a sweeter smoothie then add in some honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener. Grab some great great ingredients and make this delicious smoothie!

If you’ve tried smoothies with chia, the oatmeal changes the consistency in the same way. Perfect for those busy mornings when you make your smoothie to eat a bit later. I love making this before taking the kids to the bus stop, putting it in the friend and eating it once I’m home. Yum! Such a great way to start the day.
