I do make a lot of smoothies, but I’ve never added uncooked oats. I’m going to give this recipe a try.
Let me know how you like it!!
Yum! Do you feel like this leaves you feeling full? I am into the idea of drinking my breakfast or lunch (as a meal substitute) but I’m always left hungry. I think it may be more of a mental thing as opposed to true hunger. Ugh.
It generally does, especially if I add protein powder or silken tofu to it. The key with smoothies is you want the volume if you’re gonna make it into a “meal”. If I’m doing that I’ll toss in ice or add a little more juice to bulk it up. No matter what, if you add a protein element to it, you should be full longer because protein takes longer to digest than anything else.
I love making protein smoothies so I will try this one out!
Let me know how you like it. I’m not crazy about the seeds blackberries have, but they’re so high in fiber that I just deal with it.
