Hump Day Smoothie:
Pomegranate Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie
Made with pomegranate juice and frozen (or fresh) blueberries. 
This is loaded with antioxidants.


Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup uncooked oats (old fashioned rolled oats recommended; do not use steel cut oats)

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup low-fat yogurt (Greek yogurt recommended)
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries (not necessary to thaw frozen berries)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 teaspoons honey, optional (or substitute preferred sweetener)


Directions
Add oats and chia seeds to blender; blend on high until texture of flour. Add milk & juice to blender; use spoon or spatula to stir in oats/chias from bottom. Add yogurt. Add blueberries. Blend on high until desired smoothness. Taste and add sweetener, if needed. Blend again. Transfer to pint (2 cup) jar or container; refrigerate overnight, or a minimum of 4 hours, so oats & chias can soften. Will keep in refrigerator at least 2-3 days. Shake before drinking.
