Oatmeal Smoothie

This weekend we bought the Magic Bullet blender set with a gift card we had from our
engagement party. We had registered for a blender, but I have recently be craving
smoothies and seeing lots of healthy recipes on Pinterest. I figured it was a solid
investment before the wedding, since hopefully I could use it to lose weight for the
wedding.

This particular recipe sparked my interest because it has oatmeal in it! Sometimes
oatmeal can be a fairly boring breakfast (especially every single day), but I’m always
impressed by how it keeps me full to lunchtime.  See the recipe below on Martha Stewart's website.  Check out how instead of blend, she says whir, leave it to her to make smoothie cooking sound fancy!

  Try it for yourself!

Took me a bit longer this morning to make the smoothie than I think it will after I get
used to it. While I seem to have gotten the most straight-forward and easy blender it’s
still new and electronics and appliances have never been my strong suit! However it
was worth the wait! It was very tasty and a great sized portion. The oatmeal gives it
kind of an interesting texture, but I got used to it quickly. Got in the office at 6:30 this
morning to finish up a report and as sad as it sounds the smoothie made my morning so much better. Often when I'm busy I get sucked in to work in the morning I forget to eat breakfast and once it gets late enough I figure that I should just wait until lunchtime. Then I end up feeling extra tired and a little sick. This smoothie kept me going until lunch and almost to the completion of the report I spent the better part of the day tackling!
