Recipe Notes
If you have high cholesterol, consider adding a half of an avocado instead of coconut oil. Sometimes coconut oil can spike your cholesterol if you have it every day over a long period of time. Keep that in mind as you go on your health journey.
Some ingredients don’t work for everyone, and the beauty of these recipes is that you can make them your own, so they work for you.
If you want a creamier oatmeal breakfast smoothie, add cashew milk, almond milk, or yogurt instead of coconut milk. Any of these ingredients will provide extra healthy fats, which are important when you are trying to lose weight.
Plus, if you add Greek yogurt, that will also enhance the amount of protein you will be getting. This is going to keep you fuller, longer. Also, it makes the oat smoothie even tastier.
Who has ever said, “That smoothie is too creamy?” No one. Ever.
