Kate's Power Smoothie

This citrus and blueberry power smoothie is loaded with lots of goodness to keep you fueled, whether you have it first thing in the morning or as a snack!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup orange juice preferably the good stuff, like the not-from-concentrate orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons steel cut oats or oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup 2% or full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed ice

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients in the jar of your blender and blend. You will probably need to run it through twice. Serve immediately.
  • Makes 1 giant smoothie, 2 smaller smoothies, or 3 snack-sized smoothies.

This also has 211% of your Vitamin A, 116% of your Vitamin C, 37% Calcium, and 19% of your iron--not too bad for a snack!
Tip: To help your blender out, you can soak the oak groats in the orange juice overnight (either in the jar of your blender or in in a glass). This will make it easier to blend and will also eliminate a lot of the grittiness from the oats.
