  1. The oatmeal made this have a chalky feeling on my tongue. I will never again put oats in a smoothie. I prefer to stick with 1 banana, no OJ, no Oats, plus some honey.
     
  2. Another great smoothie recipe courtesy of MsSally. This is the 2nd smoothie recipe I've tagged of Sally's that includes oatmeal. I love the addition and until I tagged the first one had never incorporated oatmeal in a smoothie. Makes for a filling and satisfying meal replacement if you're so inclined. I ended up using a full frozen banana and a splash of skim milk too. A touch of cinnamon and a packet of Splenda to up the sweetness. Perfect~ Made for I Recommend.
     
  3. very good...I had some soaked oat groats set aside from another thing I was making so I gave them a try in this ...threw them in the blender and got them all fine added juice from fresh orange and the rest from there...ended up adding a bit of cinnamon because I have been in the habit of spicing my smoothies of late...lovely drink...really liked the oat groat and will try it with whole oats next...this is the perfect drink for my hus. as he usually has all the ingredients daily and with this he can have them all in a dose :) I would also like to try this w/ nut butter and then skip the yogurt - it is definitely going into our daily smoothie/juice rotation ... we love different ways to "shake things up" :) Made for I Recommend Tag at Jess's recommendation and this is highly recommend by me as well...THANKS!!!
     
  4. This was very good. I wasn't sure how the oatmeal would work in a smoothie, but it blended up just fine. It made it very thick, like an ice cream shake. I blended the oatmeal first to make sure it was ground up finely. This would be great with some strawberries too. Made and Reviewed for Every Day Holiday Tag - Thanks! :)
     
  5. Oh we had this last night after the gym, it was great. I love orange flavored smoothies, and the oatmeal added to it. Still getting used to the texture with the oatmeal, but this is a healthy dessert snack and I really like that! Thanks MsSally. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag, Dec 2008.

  1. Dh really liked this because it isn't too sweet. I however like a sweeter drink so I used a whole banana and orange juice concentrate in place of the orange juice. We also had this with frozen blackberries. Dh just switched 15 of them for the banana. I did the same but also added 1 tbsp honey. I love the idea of adding oatmeal to a smoothie ... thanks MsSally!

<p>First, I'd like thank everyone who reviews my recipes. I can't thank each of you personally although I try. <br /><br />I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 17 years and my beautiful daughter. She is 10 and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother. <br /><br />I love to cook. We eat very healthy, after a life altering experience at 31 I've been on a journey to be healthy and lose weight.&nbsp; I've lost 50 lbs and have kept most all of it off for the last 9 years. There are always fluxs, durring stressful times, but I've mananged to keep most of the weight off.&nbsp; My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle.</p> <p>When Zaar first changed to Food I took a short hiatus. I was going thru a very hard time in life and was completely unmotivated to do anything and thus gave up my hosting duties on Holiday Tag.&nbsp; But now with a new perspective I'm hoping to get back to cooking and tagging.</p> <p><br /><br />Things I've participated in..... <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/ParticipationBanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><a href=http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/Football%20Pool%202008/?action=view?t=FootballPoolWk4.gif target=_blank><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/Football%20Pool%202008/FootballPoolWk4.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Kaffee-sticker.jpg alt=/ /><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/derf16/food%20photography%20series/MuffinLovesticker.jpg alt=/ /><img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/photo-swap-7sticky.jpg alt=/ /> <img src=http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/vseward/Bevy/officialmemberofthebevtaggame.jpg alt=/ /><img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/personal/FRENCH-foodfun.jpg alt=/ /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/holidaylightssticker.jpg alt=/ /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /><img src=/ alt= /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=PAC /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1535/cheesesticker.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br />And in honor of my mother and in rememberence of my sister in law. <br /><img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/TasteofYellow.jpg alt=/ /></p>
