• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups soymilk
• 1⁄4 cup oatmeal
• 1⁄8 cup flax seed
• 1⁄2 banana
• 1⁄2 cup frozen blueberries
• 1⁄2 cup vanilla whey protein powder

directions

1. Pour soy milk in blender (may substitute skim milk for less fat, sugar).
2. Add banana.
3. Add raw whole grain oatmeal.
4. Blend flax seed in coffee grinder and add to blender.
5. Add frozen blueberries -- you can experiement with the frozen fruit -- use anything from strawberries, peach, mango, etc.
6. Blend until all fruit is smooth -- about 20 seconds or so.
7. Add protein powder and blend another 10 seconds. Whey protein should add another 10-12 grams of protein/serving not listed in nutritional stats. Dont put protein powder in until after the fruit is blended -- otherwise it gets too thick for my taste. The frozen fruit makes it cold enough for me -- if not, add some crushed ice. Will yield about 2 to 2.5 cups -- if too much, adjust ingredients accordingly but leave protein powder same for taste.
