Banana-Oat Soy Smoothie

For many years, I’ve always started Monday mornings with a fruit smoothie, then I have a salad for lunch and a light meal for dinner.  I simply call it Detox Monday. Weekends are usually intense, packed with high calorie foods and the occasional alcoholic beverages.  Fruit smoothies are fulfilling and refreshing.  I don’t know, but consuming them make me feel lighter and my body feels energized.  Also easy to make and tasty like my Papaya-Banana Smoothie and  Antioxidant Berry Smoothie which I make at least once a week with the berries I find in the fridge.  I know this might sound silly, but when we travel and rent a property with kitchen the first thing I ask is if the unit has a blender!

This recipe is from my aunt Eva Mari.  From the first time she made this for me I got hooked!  She makes several versions with whatever is at hand, but this is my favorite. Serves 2.

Enjoy!
