Oatmeal Fruit Smoothies

Oatmeal is a versatile grain, but drinking oatmeal? Yup. Cook up a batch of quick oats with cranberries, honey, apples and cinnamon. Let it cool completely. Then add to a blender with yogurt, milk and bananas. Calcium, fiber, vitamin C-rich cranberries, potassium — it’s all in here. Drink a glass for breakfast, lunch or a snack. It’s all good!
