BLUEBERRY MUFFIN SMOOTHIE

Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie - easy and yummy.

This is an easy recipe and the latest pin on my Pinterest Success Board.  Brandi from Bran Appetit! came up with it and Asher and I really like it.  It's really easy, but you need to do a little prep the night before.

BLUEBERRY MUFFIN SMOOTHIE
From Bran Appetit!
The night before in a pint jar, I place 1/2 c. oats, 1 c. milk, 1/2 t. vanilla, 1 t. chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.  Tighten the lid and give a quick shake and place in the fridge overnight.  In the morning, pour the contents into your blender and add 1/2 c. milk and 1 c. frozen blueberries.  I also added a little honey.  Blend until smooth.  It says one serving, but we've shared it.  So yummy!
