"Oatmeal Cookie" Breakfast Smoothie



I look forward to this smoothie every morning when I get out of bed. It has a great mix of low glycemic carbs (slow-burning), high quality vegan protein, and good fats. It is a fantastic way to start your day, whether you're going to train, race, or just head to work. Delicious, nutritious, filling, and packed with energy.




  • 1 cup oats
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1 banana
  • 4 pitted dates
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 scoop Vega Sport protein powder - vanilla
  • 1 tbsp goji berries (or your favorite berries)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste

This is even better if you use "overnight oats": Soak the oats and chia seeds in almond milk in a container and place in the fridge overnight. The oats blend better, making for a smooth and delicious consistency.
