Kale, Oat, and Blueberry Smoothie

By

According to the raw foods diet, eating foods in their natural state is the best way to extract the maximum amount of nutrients from the food. If that’s true, then this smoothie is a dynamo of nutrients. I just feel great drinking it!
With the addition of oats, this smoothie becomes a filling breakfast, and if you want to invest in the optional ingredient of flaxseed meal, you definitely won’t be hungry an hour after drinking the smoothie.
If you’re a little timid, rest assured, it’s delicious. The two unusual ingredients worked surprisingly well with the smoothie staple of blueberries.
