I definitely love a quick, power-packed smoothie for busy mornings.  It keeps you full and satisfied while the nutrients give you energy to handle to stresses of the day. I love adding oats to my morning smoothies.  Along with my Strawberry Banana Morning Smoothie, this Banana Apple Oatmeal Smoothie is a frequent at my home.  Oats are mild flavored however they add creaminess, fiber and protein.  Perfect option to kick-start your day.  Trust me… this is a good one.

 This is one of my most frequent smoothies.  It keeps you full and incredibly quick to make.  My 2 year old often requests her ‘soothie’ for breakfast.  With the added benefits of a raw carrot, I’m loving her choice for a healthy breakfast.
