Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Smoothie

I drink tons of smoothies and have one for breakfast almost every day.
I switch between green smoothies, protein smoothies and oatmeal smoothies. This is one of my favorite smoothies.

One glass of this drink has 10g of fiber! (thats about half your daily intake). It's filling and good for you. It has both types of fiber: soluble and insoluble as well as a lot of protein. Additionally, it's high in magnesium and iron.
More benefits:

Raisins are also a good source of fiber and antioxidants.

Cinnamon is a great anti-inflammatory food and can help prevent blood clots.

Bananas are a great source of vitamin B6, vitamin C and potassium.


This smoothie is very easy to make and tastes literally like an oatmeal raisin cookie! yum!



You'll need:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more according to taste)
  • 4-5 cubes ice
1. Just put everything in a high-speed blender and mix until smooth. I have a Vitamix blender and it takes me about 30 seconds. You can probably blend for a minute.





Enjoy!
