We will focus on water but I don't want to deprive anyone everything else in life. So.... this morning after teaching spin I knew that I needed to give myself some nutrition but wasn't in the mood to eat. I tried this shake from The New York Times and was very satisfied with the flavor and ability to fill me up but not weigh me down. I added a packet of Jay Robb's vanilla protein powder to it in order to amp up my protein intake after a workout. The recipe is after the jump.1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 plump fresh dates, preferably medjool
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt, vanilla yogurt or almond milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Combine the oats and water in a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup or a 3- to 4-cup microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for two minutes.
2. Combine the microwaved oats and the remaining ingredients, along with a few ice cubes, in a blender, and blend at high speed. Serve at once.
Yield: One serving.
Advance preparation: Best if served right away.
