Five Food Group Smoothie

Fifitrixibelle's Note:

I came up with this recipe while trying to determine a healthy meal-replacement smoothie. I find most meal replacement recipes to be okay, but this is one that was surprisingly good. The orange juice was necessary because its strong flavour masks the spinach. Be careful with the oatmeal. I think any type will work, but the steel cut variety will add a bit of crunch.
