Hi
Can I enjoy a oat smoothie if I am doing a 10 day reboot juicing fast?
Hi Naomi, If you are doing juice only then you want to wait on the smoothie. It would be a great transition breakfast once you have completed your Reboot.
What about adding frozen sliced zucchini instead of banana? Woild that wreck the overall flavor?
Hi Patricia,
I think it could work! Try it and let us know how it goes.
My husband’s favorite oatmeal has fresh blue, black, rasp berries, pineapple, mango and banana. Sundays before church there is just no time to cut all the fruit and cook the oatmeal so he can take it to Sunday morning and eat during class. He has metastatic prostate cancer in his bones and he needs this nutrition rather than waiting hours till lunch. Why didn’t I think of doing a smoothie? I make him smoothies through the day but never thought of doing the oatmeal breakfast in a smoothie so he can take it with him. Tomorrow morning he gets a surprise! Thank you for the measurement I need and the awesome suggestion.
Kathy, Glad to give you a new way for your husband to enjoy oatmeal and wishing him health and good energy with it!
This sounds lovely but I don’t like bananas. What could I use instead?
Hi Sharon, You can just skip the banana and add another 1/2 cup of blueberries. Or I also sub 1/2 cup of frozen cauliflower rice in place of banana to add bulk with less sugar.
