Blueberry-Oat Smoothies image

Discovering wonderful smoothies with oatmeal here on Zaar, I was moved to create my own. This fruity, low-fat breakfast will keep you going all morning. [If you're like me, you may be tempted to eat the whole batch :-)]

Time 10m

Yield 2 breakfast smoothies, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/3 cups frozen blueberries
3 small kiwi fruits (use VERY ripe ones!)
2 large bananas, frozen
3 -5 dates (I used fresh ones, but dried would be fine)
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/2-1 cup water

Steps:

  • Cover the dates ( however many you like, depending on sweetness) with 1/2 cup very warm water, cover and let them soften up for about 5 minutes.
  • Break up the bananas into chunks and add to the food processor with the kiwi and blueberries.
  • Add the dates and their soaking water. Blend well, till most date chunks are gone.
  • Add the oats and blend again, till they are the consistency you like. You will probably need to add more water, this gets very thick.
  • Enjoy with a spoon!
