Health Benefits of Oatmeal

Health Benefits of Oatmeal

Health benefits of oats are well known. Eating a bowl of oatmeal each morning is the second perfect way to start your day off right. I say second, because, I believe a green smoothie is the first! Of course, you can combine a green smoothie with oats, such as this lime-oats-greens smoothie, for a total winner in the breakfast department.
I like to use the quick-one-minute rolled oats for a quick, no-cooking-required healthy breakfast. I soak them in almond or soy milk, and toss in some dried fruit, nuts and seeds for even more nutritional benefits.

5 Minute Super-Easy Fresh Tomato Basil Soup Recipe

I love tomato soup, but not the variety that you find canned in stores that is loaded with sodium, and other not-so-desirable ingredients. It’s easy to make your own tomato soup from fresh ingredients or from diced tomatoes that you can buy canned.

However, since this is a site for smoothie and blending fanatics (;-)), why not live a little and experiment with a raw – and living – version of tomato soup.

This recipe for a cold tomato basil soup is similar to a gazpacho soup, but with little extra flavoring of garden-fresh basil (or other fresh herbs).

It is low-fat, low-calorie, GMO-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan.
