Some people are smoothie fanatics and others might appreciate a smoothie's value more when they' need an on-the-go meal. I've put 4 smoothie recipes together for you to try to switch up your smoothie game. The bonus? Raw milk adds real nourishment to your smoothie and the smoothie dresses your raw milk up in new clothes for that day!
Each smoothie blends in a different flavor, unique texture, attractive color, & fragrance. They all contain the goodness of raw milk which is a complete protein loaded with calcium, potassium, B vitamins, Vitamin D, probiotics, beneficial enzymes, and more.
Oats & Banana Milk Smoothie

4 tbsp oats
1 large frozen banana (peeled)

1 scoop collagen or whey protein powder (chocolate or unflavored) (optional)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Put the oats into the blender. Pulse briefly 2-3 times till the oats turn to powder.
Then, add the rest of the ingredients and blend into a creamy consistency.
