The "full till lunch, whenever that may be, breakfast smoothie"

Been busy, so have not blogged for a while.  What i noticed was that i was doing the same thing each day for breakfast as i was in a hurry.  The good thing is that the breakfast that i was making was keeping me full up until lunch, even if lunch was at 3 or 4pm and breakfast at 7am.

Conventional smoothies are often high in sugar and dairy.  Not good.  So here is my version.

2 Cups of soy milk (i prefer the Alpro Vanilla one, personally).
1 banana (i use the speckled ones as Richard eschews those in favour of the less ripe ones). 
8-10 strawberries (or equivalent amount of other soft fruits, apricots, raspberries, etc.,)
2 Tbl spoons of soy yogurt (optional)
2-3 Tbl spoons of rolled oats (or oatmeal)
1 Tbl spoon of protein powder (i use the soy one - but optional)
2 handfuls of ice cubes (you could use frozen fruits too instead, or crushed ice if you do not have powerful blender like the vita mix).

Method -

Chuck it all in a blender and whizz until smooth and serve.

You'll be full all day, i promise.
