Super Berry Smoothie

This is fast and quick. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. Enough to make one for you and someone special.

(Makes 2 servings)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen blueberries, no sugar added
• 1 cup frozen strawberries, no sugar added
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (flax will work too if you grind it up first)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (non-fat milk works too)
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, no sugar added (unflavored works too)

Directions:

1. Blend and serve.

Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup vanilla (or plain) Greek yogurt 
• 1 pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

1. The night before you plan to eat your oats, mix together all of the ingredients listed above and seal in an airtight container.
2. Refrigerate the mixture overnight (they will be ready in about 3 hours, but overnight is best).
3. Wake up and enjoy the next day!

Add fresh berries and a little agave nectar in the morning or top it off with a pinch of brown sugar, a handful of walnuts and some sliced up banana. Most cereal toppings work well though–honey, fruit, whatever... Test out a few different combinations and see what you like best.

Eat this in the morning and it will keep you full till snack time. It's a great way to start your day since the oats are filling and the yogurt is packed with healthy probiotics and lots of calcium.

Give it a try and let me know what you top off your oats with!
