Oatmeal Smoothie Breakfast Rich & Creamy, Energy Throughout the Day

This is how my husband and I start every morning with a fantastic oatmeal smoothie breakfast loaded with complex carbohydrates, protein and iron rich and creamy, very filling, it'll give you energy throughout the day, and it's under 300 calories.

1 banana ( you can substitute or mix fruit)

6 dates

Small handful raisins or approximately 1/4 cup

1 capful of vanilla

A pinch of nutmeg or approximately 1/8 teaspoon

A pinch of dried ginger or approximately 1/8 teaspoon

Best results 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (you can low fat or skim milk) Note: To use chocolate milk (nonfat) add 100 more calories and 14% fat. Not recommended
