This morning we experimented with this delicious looking recipe for a Blueberry Oatmeal Super Shake from Life is Great. I was out of some of the ingredients so we substituted and added some of our own. Here is what we came up with
(modified from Jordan MacVay)
Yields 4 cups.
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 4 ounces fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup coconut water
Place all the ingredients into a blender and blitz on high speed for a few minutes. Serve with optional garnish of banana slices and some frozen blueberries with a drizzle of honey.
- Calcium, from the milk
- Vitamin D
- Potassium, from the banana & coconut water
- Fiber, from the banana & blackberries & oats
- Protein, from the milk & peanut butter
- High Vitamin C, from blackberries
In addition you get all the health benefits from coconut water:
- raises metabolism
- boosts immune system
- fights viruses
- aids in digestion
