I have thought about this recipe soooooo much since seeing the recipe at Grandma Loy's Kitchen
Sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do right?
In fact, I made it TWICE the first day I tried it!!!
Loy and I crossed paths a few weeks ago and have become good email buds, sharing many things in common.
She fits into the 'grandma' category with me and hasn't been blogging long. I think that's just so cool and know her grandkids have to be bustin' their buttons over all she does.
She also has a part time job as a quilter!
Very talented too!

We share very similar tastes in our kitchens. It's so fun to connect with someone who thinks like you do, isn't it?
I appreciate all the 'DIY' recipes she shares at her blog. Always GREAT ideas. Check out her recipe for Homemade Cake Mix. Please pay her a visit and show her some love.

This is a recipe I will enjoy again and again. It's quick, easy and nutritious.
Just in case you're not familiar with Nutella, it is a chocolate-hazelnut spread. The texture is similar to peanut butter, and oh so satisfying!
Enjoying this smoothie is a great way to begin the day or as a pick me up in the afternoon! Bedtime snack anyone???
I'd read somewhere (sorry - I don't recall what blog?) about blending dry oatmeal into a powder to use in a smoothie. I really liked that idea, and so that's the only change I made to this delicious treat.
Can't go wrong adding more 'healthy' eh?
(I used MORE nutella the second time around, can you tell?=)
NUTELLA/PEANUT BUTTER-BANANA-OATMEAL SMOOTHIE
1/4 cup oats
2 bananas, sliced and frozen
1/4 cup nutella (or peanut butter)
3/4 cup milk
(I used skim)
Put oats in blender and blend until powder-y. Add remaining ingredients and blend until there are no more chunks of frozen banana. Garnish with fresh banana slices if desired.
Yield: 2 servings

Marsha, thank you so much for all the sweet things you said. The smoothie is really good, isn't it? I certainly want to give credit to Katie over at This Chick Cooks for posting the Oatmeal Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie recipe which I adapted with the Nutella. One or the other of these is now my go-to breakfast, and I though I didn't like smoothies. Thanks again. Have a great weekend.
