Strawberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie

     As you all will eventually find out, if you don't already know, I am a pretty lazy person and I try to find the easiest way possible for anything and everything I do.  Now I admit that it does not always pan out for me (I think my father just died from shock that I admitted that) and the following is one time where it bit me in the butt.
     As I have said before I work 2 jobs, so I am ALWAYS tired, I try to sleep as late as possible and to do so I like my breakfast in smoothie form, I just throw things in my awesome blender, blend for 1 minute, toss it into a cup and go to work.   So I spent some time looking at smoothie recipes online and there was not one in particular that I just had to try, so I decided to combine a couple and see how it turns out.
     Many of the recipes I found called for cooked oatmeal, which takes time and planning, both of which I don't have/not really capable of, but I did find one recipe that used old fashioned uncooked oats.  Oh an easier option...Done.

So in my recipe I used:
     Frozen Strawberries and bananas (i bought a bag at my local grocery store)
     1 Fresh Banana
     1/4 cup of greek vanilla yogurt
     1/4 cup of old fashioned oats
     1/2 cup of milk and some more if needed
     Honey (for taste)
     Ice

     Honestly, the shake was pretty good a little on the thick side, but the tasted great.  My only qualm with the smoothie was the oats, they scratched my throat and made the consistency not so appealing, and I am huge on texture/consistency.  After drinking about 10-15 ounces of the smoothie I finally admitted to myself that waking up an extra 20 minutes early to cook the oats, will make this smoothie ahhmazing.  The honey adds sweetness that is perfect with the banana.  I will be making this again, and I will not cut corners.  you can bet on me getting up early to cook and cool the oatmeal, and thanks to a co-worker of mine who told me to put the cooked oatmeal in the freezer while I take a shower and it will be cool enough to use and not melt the frozen fruit.
