Nutrient Dense Smoothie
These Nutrient Dense Smoothies are slightly tart and perfectly sweet. You will feel energized because they aren't full of sugary foods and empty calories.
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Rolled oats, soaked overnight and cooked*
- ⅓ cup Plain Yogurt
- 1 cup Milk preferably raw
- 1-2 Raw Egg Yolks from a trusted source
- ¼ cup Bone or Chicken Broth
- 1 cup Mixed Berries, Fresh or Frozen
- 1-2 tbsp Raw Honey**
- Pinch of Salt
- Dash of Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. I prefer frozen berries (usually strawberries and blueberries), so the smoothie stays nice and cool. These measurements are guidelines - feel free to mix it up and make it your own!¼ cup Rolled oats, soaked overnight and cooked*, ⅓ cup Plain Yogurt, 1 cup Milk, 1-2 Raw Egg Yolks, ¼ cup Bone or Chicken Broth, 1 cup Mixed Berries, Fresh or Frozen, 1-2 tbsp Raw Honey**, Pinch of Salt, Dash of Vanilla Extract
- Serve immediately. If you have any leftover, freeze it in a popsicle mold for a treat another day!
Notes
*To aid in digestion, rolled oats should be properly prepared. I created this smoothie to use up leftover porridge. The porridge recipe I follow is from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon where she teaches to soak the oats overnight using warm water and an acid (like buttermilk, yogurt, kefir, lemon juice, vinegar, etc.).
**Children under the age of 1 should NOT consume honey. (Yes, you can substitute another sweetener but honey is preferred for its natural medicinal attributes.)
