Strawberry Blueberry Oatmeal Protein Smoothie

I’m attempting to lose the weight I’ve gained since high school and I’ve been experimenting with protein smoothie. I’m not a huge water drinker and drinking protein water….not happening.  So smoothies it is. I’m a pinterest junkie and during one my recent forays into madness, I came across This Chicks Cooks’ Berry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie. I’ve never thought about putting oatmeal into a smoothie before, but I do know that oatmeal is exceptionally healthy for you, so I was game to try it. It’s really tasty and I have a feeling I’ll be adding oatmeal.

However, while I was making it, I started thinking.  I like the antioxidants blueberries have and have been adding them to every smoothie I’ve been making. Plus I have protein mix that I’m suppose to be using as well, so I’ve kind of made my own smoothie based on This Chick Cooks recipe.

For my protein, I use Body Fortress – Super Advanced Whey Protein, which is about 26g of protein per scoop. Depending on which type of protein powder you use, the calorie count I’m including may be a little different. In addition, I use store brand frozen fruit instead of fresh as it’s more convenient to have on hand. If you are using frozen fruit, I suggest crushing it up before adding the ingredients. It’ll make blending it all together easier. I also blended the fruit and oats separately before adding all the ingredients. I wanted to make sure everything was tiny enough for a smoother blend.

Strawberry Blueberry Oatmeal Protein SmoothieIngredients:
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 scoops of whey protein powder
1 banana
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions:
If using frozen fruit, blend/crush up the fruit. Taking the fruit out, put the oats in the blender and let it run until they are ground up to as close of a powder as desired. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
