Smoothie FAILURE

Bump- all looks good!

Bump

maybe because there wasn't anything to thin it out like water, ice cubes or milk and it could have been too overpowering with the oats. was it the texture or just the taste?

I do a banana, 20g oats, 45g protein isolate and 1tbsp of all natural peanut butter if I have fats left.

Carbs-44g
Protein-53g
Fat-9.5g
Fiber-6.2g
Sugar-15.9g

I use 1/2 to 1 cup Almond milk, a small container of GOOD greek yogurt like Fage (good sourse of protien) and about 1 1/2 cups frozen berries and bananas mixed. Being frozen helps thicken and the bananas also help thicken it up. If you need it a little bit sweeter, use a bit of honey. I use Agave necture and if you need it thinner, splash a bit more Almond milk in it. The frozen fruit is what I like. I buy seasonal then freeze them for when I need them in the non-seasonal/colder months.

I make a peanutbutter banana smoothie and I use oats. I blend them first until they are a powder, then I add the bananas, peanutbutter and almond milk. It's pretty good!

I use soy protein powder, frozen fruit, low fat yogurt, and low fat milk. It's like a milkshake!

Hi

I use oats in my morning smoothie too but I blitz them into a fine powder first with a handful of mixed seeds using the milling attachment on my nutriblend. I then add half a cup of frozen mixed berries, a banana, half cup of soy yogurt and soy milk or water to loosen. I have just started experimenting by adding a nutrient powder such as Maca or Wheatgrass, I can honestly say the smoothies are lovely. I have some spirulina powder to try, not enthusiastic though as I hear it truly tastes like pond water...keep experimenting, great way to start the day.
I have a great book of recipes for the nutriblend so if you fancy a particular smoothie or want to address a particular issue, let me know and I will see what they advise.

God luck x
