Matt had a lot of days off in July which was really awesome but also means our Friday smoothie hasn't happened much lately. Plus we were out of yogurt and for some reason my mind goes blank about when it comes to making smoothies without yogurt. Then I looked at the recipe for this one and saw it didn't need any...right after I made a half gallon worth. So we added yogurt. I know, such rebels.

Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

My Thoughts
Luke loved this, as he does pretty much any smoothie we make. He drank all of his (already half gone in the above picture) and then kept stealing mine as well. Which was fine because I wasn't crazy about it. I think I put in too many oats, about 1/2 cup as the original recipe said, which gave it too much of a grainy, oaty taste. It was less than ideal. I reduced the amount in the above recipe and could try this again since we typically (yogurt aside) have all this on hand.
