Whenever I add oatmeal to a smoothie, I just add it in with all of the other ingredients and blend. With this smoothie, the oatmeal gets blended into a fine powder before all of the other ingredients get added in. This one simple change with the oatmeal, made the smoothie creamy and thick. Plus I did not taste the oatmeal as much. From now on whenever I add oatmeal to a smoothie, this is how I am going to do it.

- 1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
