Today’s recipe is high in fiber, low in fat, and high in protein!

Tasty and good for you!

I am amazed at the qualities that oatmeal contains in each and every tiny little grain!  I make oatmeal at least three times per week and when I don’t cook it the conventional way, I put it in a smoothie!

Try to buy the least processed oatmeal available.  I like the old fashioned rolled oat or steel cut.  If you want to read more about oatmeal, I found a nice site that will have you falling head over heals for the stuff..

The Ultimate Healthy Smoothie Recipe

makes 4 ~ 10 oz. servings and a little extra to make into a popsicle

1 cup of oatmeal {rolled or steel cut}

1 cup of blueberries

1 banana

10-12 strawberries

4 cups water

Place all ingredients in the blender as listed {I like to use my VitaMix for this job!}

Blend on high until you notice that all of the oatmeal is blended and the strawberry seeds have been completely “pulverized”

Pour and enjoy!

Frozen Strawberries

Oatmeal, Banana, Frozen Blueberries, Frozen Strawberries

 I can’t wait to use fresh produce, but for those that can’t wait for mother nature, I find that the frozen berries work just as well.

Blended to perfection!

I hope you have a chance to look over the benefits of oatmeal.  It truly is a blessing to have such an amazing food at our finger tips.  This smoothie has a fruit/oatmeal flavor.  If you would like the oatmeal flavor to be less noticeable, just reduce the amount of oats to ½ cup.  I also recommend buying old fashion oats or steel cut.  Your blender can do all the processing for you…without adding sodium or sugar!  It is amazing how a perfect food can be processed and stripped of its nutrition by manufacturing.

Have you hugged your oatmeal today?

One of the items on the to-do list was to get my eyebrows threaded.  I don’t know if any one of you has tried it, but it is a great way of getting rid of unwanted eyebrow or facial hair. Since the hair is plucked of from the roots, it is longer lasting then shaving or waxing. Better then tweezing too, since that takes forever. The only drawback, it can be a bit painful. Since I have very thin and sensitive skin it look like I have been attacked by somebody!

I went on a shopping spree for my family and cousins at the mall.

I think I am done with shopping for a while (Read for others not myself)

Lunch was at one of my favorite joints, Petros, I ate a veg. chili which is so good and very very filling!

I forgot to tell them to not add the sour cream, I don’t like it. So I just pushed it on one side and devoured it!

Breakfast today was amazing: It was an chock full of antioxidants. So I rightfully named it Antioxidant smoothie!

• 1 cup spinach
• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 prunes
• 1 T diet cocoa mix
• 1 cup soy milk

Blend and enjoy! It was amazing and since I am pretty sure antioxidants are blue in color, I decided to drink it with a blue straw
