I am a huge fan of smoothies for breakfast and I usually eat them after I work out, so I need a lot of nutrients in my smoothies to replenish my body (I also have a smoothie recipe for a green smoothie that tastes good, here). This smoothie is a little higher in calories than the green smoothie, but it's good for someone that isn't ready to risk a leafy green smoothie.
**This recipe makes one serving**
What You Need:
1/2 of a banana (if it's a small banana like the one I used, use about 3/4 of it)
1/2 cup of strawberries
2 tablespoons of oats
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
1/2 cup of milk (I used coconut milk)
Tip: If you're using coconut or almond milk, you may want to add a tablespoon or two of yogurt to thicken up the consistency of the smoothie)
Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey for sweetness.
Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey for sweetness.

- Step 5: Blend until smooth
This recipe makes a little over 1 cup:
