For breakfast today I decided to hide my oatmeal in a green smoothie. I like green smoothies. They are simple and you can get a serving or two of veggies in before lunch. Great idea? I think so! The smoothie successfully hid any hint of oatmeal flavor. The only downside was that I should have added double the oatmeal to actually get the serving that I normally eat. You see, I forgot that the smoothie I was making actually makes 2 to 3 servings, so I should have poured in more oatmeal. I wonder if that will change the texture of the smoothie or add an oatmeal flavor? I guess I'll have to try it again and find out! If you want a basic green smoothie recipe I've got a good one. You can start with my recipe and add yogurt or juices or other fruits to mix it up a bit. Its very versatile.
