I make one of these shakes for breakfast almost every morning. Sometimes I make extra for a quick snack mid-morning too. The intent of this is something filling, but healthy. Sometimes I will sometimes mix in 1t of some kind of protein powder (e.g., whey powder) if I need the extra filling nature of protein. Be mindful of how much protein powder is added as it can make the shake very filling — I used to to 1T but that was far too much. As a note, I used to mix with a hand blender wand. I found that did not give the smoothie the same fluffiness, but it was passable.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup oatmeal
1 banana
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 ounces plain yogurt
6 ounces yogurt (flavored to compliment the banana ( try blueberry or strawberry)
6 ounces milk
4 strawberries (or any other small amount of fruit to compliment the yogurt and banana (optional)

Directions

1
Add those ingredients, in order, into a blender. The order prevents splashing and also helps things like the cinnamon to mix well.
2
Start blending on slow until it is all mixed. Then blend on progressively higher speeds until you are blending on the fastest speed. Blend on high for about a minute. This aerates the smoothie and gives it a "fluffiness".
3
Pour into glass and enjoy!

We liked this smoothie a lot, especially with the inclusion of cinnamon! I followed the ingredient list right on down but use a frozen banana & strawberries (for a greater chill factor) & I did use about 10 ounces of milk! [Tagged, made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
