Before our early fall mornings turn into cold winter days, here is a recipe for a delicious and healthy breakfast smoothie that I have been loving lately. It is perfect for when you’re on the go, but sometimes I pour it into a bowl and eat it like a cold soup! I have seen some recipes that have you “soak” your oats overnight or cook them before adding them to the smoothie, but I think that is just an extra step that isn’t needed.

When I’m not in a rush, I like to eat my smoothie out of a bowl. Topped with a bit of granola!

My tip for freezing bananas: peel each banana and wrap them individually in wax paper. Throw them in a ziplock bag and pop them in the freezer. When you need a banana just pull one out!
