Welcome to the smoothie world BB....Jenn, I didn't see you say you had some...(?)

Oatmeal, was it cooked?

I never thought of that. I'd grind that first, and make it dust like.....(mmmm, I'm liking this idea)

nuts are a source of protein (I usually use almonds), sometimes a spoonful of beanut butter, excellent with bananna. Proteins make you feel full. So thats veggies,

Spinach is very mild (when mixed with a bananna). I like yogurt in my smoothies, i use low fat or full fat, you need some fat and the yogurt will make you feel full. I use ice cubes in the summer months. And always berries.

I made freezer packs, portion controlled sizes of berries....strawberries, blueberries and rasberries, to last me well into winter......(no, i do not have to much time on my hands)

. I'm going to try that oatmeal in the morning.....

Welcome to the wonderful world of smoothies.....loved seeing flax seed added to that.

The oatmeal was not cooked. BB just found it online amongst some breakfast smoothie links I sent hym. Hy said it was delish

Hy's planning on a coffee smoothie tomorrow

And, no, I have not yet started myself yet. I'm very slow to anything new. I do a lot of lurking first

Severe srorms going on, and i chose to sleep in ...in stead of go to the gym (see, I am human) I just tried the ground oatmeal green smoothie, Absolutely delicious. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thank you for posting it!

I had the oatmeal ground, a frozen banana, frozen berries, spinach and the tops of some celery and a glob of yogurt (plain).....ice cubes.

please post the coffee smoothie Jenn. Coffee is my hobby. Thats hobby, noy Hubby.....

have a great day...stay cool if you can...it's 84 already! I'd call that steamy storms.

Hi Jennifer....I put the dry oatmeal into the blender all by itself, and *blend*, it chops it to dust.

I got a good chuckle out of the coffee utube, when the woman was adding metamucil for 6 grams of fiber. Oatmeal will give you 8 grams. BUT!....

Oatmeal is the only food known to do this, and is endorsed by the american heart association because of it. Oats are soluable. They go into your body and absorb excess grease (cholesterol) and eliminate it when you have a bowel movement. Cholesterol issues can be genetic and are not always caused by high fat diets. If I could make a suggestion, I'd suggest using quick oaks (mothers oats) instead of instant oats, because of the salt. No other reason.

We learn from one another....I never thought to do this....(thank you again)and I love oatmeal. But eating raw, you shouldn't introduce boiled foods into your diet. Now I can have oatmeal, and the benefits of it again.

Another experiment again no bananas

crushed ice (filtered H2O)

frozen raspberries
frozen strawberries

broccoli (two handfuls)
spinach (two handfuls)

soft tofu
flax seed oil

Vit C
Vit D3

really refreshing, delicious, filling

The importance of green leafy veggies?

Fiber, Fiber, Fiber which is also found in
oatmeal, and other grains, beans

Fiber helps absorb toxins, and "sweeps"
the intestinal tract...graphic? I'll stop
here except to say that if also increases
the bodies ability to absorb nutrients

And the best part, it takes d_mn good
in a smoothie...green smoothie.

When I juice the greens, the nutrients
go directly into the blood stream and

as I've shared before I use the pulp for
soups, salads, sauteing thereby not
losing the precious fiber.

Ok, that's it for me today

enjoy your veggies, Greco

[QUOTE=greco;384708]Another experiment again no bananas

I like bananas and I don't trust the soils of today (except my own, another plug for worm farming) for magnesium...anyhow....your smoothie sounded great. I had another beet. Gives a new meaning to home grown.

I peel the beet then grate it, yes, slightly labor intensive....but I know I will reap the rewards.....before i toss it into the blender because I do want it to be emulsified and don't want to be swallowing chunks of beets.
I had red stained fingers for a while.....AnYhOw made the cold radish soup

I saved a few for my smoothies this week....and forced some of the cold soup on my neighbors (they had it last year too, picturing it going down garbage disposers as soon as I left) and I have 6 giant containers to freeze and a vat to take to work tomorrow (i picked up pumpernickle bread too) I don't know how your your place of employment is, but where I work, ANYTHING gets eaten....before 10am.

Those fiberous things you toss into your soups you can fry up as a burger too you know? i/e the part I highlighted up there^

We skipped the baseball game today,

< how humidity affects me
have the a/c blasting, sitting in my underwear under a blanket and complaining, I'm going to have to get a second job to pay for the electricity........DO I MAKE ANY SENSE (doesn't require an answer)....now I want an apple.

Anyone have a healthy Oatmeal cookie recipe.? I'd like to make a healthy snack for lunch.

My Gramma used to make me chocolate drop oatmeal cookies full of sugar, and I don't know what else.

I have Scottish porridge every day with almonds and some kind of fresh fruit. If I use a less water , it makes a reallly thick mass of good chewy stuff.
