- Yields:
-
1 smoothie
- Serves:
- 1
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup rolled oats, soaked overnight in 1/2 cup filtered water in your refrigerator
- 1⁄4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1 cup low-fat milk, however any milk will do
- 2 ice cubes, just so it is cold
- 25 g chocolate protein powder, make sure it's low sugar, I use Rivalus Promasil in Milk Chocolate
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, this is optional, I like the extra chocolatiness and boost of flavanoids
directions
- Fill blender with the soaked oatmeal mixture, ricotta cheese, milk, and ice cubes. Turn on a low blending speed to get it going.
- When things are looking smooth and blended, open the ingredient hatch on the lid of the blender, (or just the lid if yours doesn't have one - just make sure it's going low enough to where you won't have an explosion), and add your protein powder and cocoa powder while it's still going.
- Replace cover and turn on high for a few seconds to make sure it's all nice and smooth.
- Pour into a tall glass with a straw and enjoy!
