Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

This is one of my favorite smoothie recipes. It's perfect for breakfast, especially in the summer sun, and tastes so delicious! I even brought along my handheld blender, fresh strawberries, yogurt and protein powder to make a version of this smoothie right in my hotel room! I feel so much better drinking a smoothie for breakfast than I do loading up on all of the sweet bakery and heavy dishes places usually offer.

Serves 1
1/2 frozen banana (I freeze them whole, without the peel)
5-6 frozen strawberries
1 cup almond milk (or regular or soy milk)
1/4 cup rolled oats
drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a bit of extra sweetness
optional 1/4 cup yogurt (I love to use Greek yogurt for added creaminess)
2-3 ice cubes, if needed

Add all to a blender, serve and enjoy!

PS. The tulip is from my garden. One of the first to bloom!
