Protein Shake with Oatmeal ...hmmmm

Hey there. Happy 1st day of summer. I received an email today asking for help on more healthy suggestions for protein based breakfast, My client expressed since warm weather is here, its hard in the mornings since he is on the go. During winter months he found oatmeal and a protein shake to be a big help and solution to express breakfast.
well, why not combine them and make a delicious power shake !

Ingredients
3/4 cup dry measure oatmeal, cooked in water and cooled
1- 1 1/2 scoop vanilla protein of your choice ( I like ON hydrolyzed whey 30g protein/scoop or vegan option plant fusion 1 1/2 scoops to get 30 g protein)
1 cup of seasonal berries: examples- raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries
12 oz. water & almond milk ( I breakdown calories by half by diluting 6 oz almond milk with 6 oz of water)
1 cup of kale or spinach, frozen is ok (promise you won't taste it)

Combine all in blender at high speed for 30 seconds & repeat, then serve.

So not only are you getting plenty of protein from various sources in this shake but you have fruits that are high in antioxidants AND a serving of vegetable !!!!
