Yana Poghosyan's blog: STRAWBERRY, YOGURT AND OAT-FLAKE SMOOTHIE

Hi, everyone! I am glad to be back with a another recipe for you! This is a very easy but very delicious, creamy and, of course, very healthy smoothie recipe that you can prepare in just a few minutes for breakfast or for any time of the day of your liking!!! If you add a couple of ice cubes it'll be a perfect refreshing snack for hot summer days. If you don't have much time to prepare a breakfast these kind of smoothies are very handy. You can take it out with you in a closed cup and enjoy it on your way to work!!! This is how my smoothie turned out today!!! I had it as a midday snack with a chocolate biscuit, a couple of strawberries and chocolate mushrooms!!! Oh, that was a fabulous snack! :) :) :)

Now let's talk about the recipe. You'll need the following ingredients for 2 portions:

Yogurt (1 full cup; I am using plain Greek yogurt, you can use flavored ones (for example vanilla flavored), that will be delicious too)
Strawberries (1 cup; save a couple of strawberries for garnishing)
Honey (to your taste, as I used plain Greek yogurt I added 1 tablespoon, if you use sweet, flavored yogurt you can totally escape it)
Oat-flakes (2 full tablespoon)
Ice cubed (optional, if you like your smoothie to be refreshing, just a few 5-6 cubes)
Chocolate biscuits and chocolate mushrooms (this is totally optional) for garnishing

Step by step instructions:

Add all the ingredients (Greek yogurt, strawberries, oat-flakes, honey and ice cubes (if you decide to use some) into the blender. Blend it a for a couple of seconds until you get a smooth consistency. With the ingredients I mentioned above you'll get 2 portions of smoothie. If you make it only for yourself you can have one portion and save the other in a closed container in the fridge to have it later during the day.

Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish it with whatever you like. I chose to garnish it with a few strawberries, a chocolate cookie and 2 mushroom chocolates!

I prepared this smoothie for me and my toddler who was more excited about the chocolate biscuit hahaha....He preferred to eat the chocolate biscuit first and then had a few sips from the smoothie. I saved his portion in the fridge and had it later in the evening!
