Fruity Oatmeal Smoothie (Recipe from Mayim's Vegan Table by Mayim Bialik)
When it comes to smoothies, I tend to be a bit old-fashioned. I've tried some weird combinations, and I usually prefer the simple fruit and milk blends (or almond milk, in my case). I'm planning to try a few of the smoothie and shake recipes from the various cookbooks I own, and I started with this simple recipe that falls on the milder end of the smoothie spectrum. I was a little wary of the oatmeal, so I made sure it was very well blended before tasting.
This was a good smoothie. Strawberry-banana is one of my favorite fruit flavor combinations. The oatmeal was detectable, but not distracting - about the same size as the strawberry seeds, with a slightly different texture. The smoothie was tasty, but not very filling -- at least not as a lunch meal. It would work best as a breakfast meal, or as a summer side dish / dessert. I will probably make this recipe again, and I look forward to testing some of the other smoothie recipes as well.
