Oaty Smoothie

Serves: 1 x 2 block snack

Ingredients
1/3 cup / approx 100g cooked oats (1 block carb)
1/2 cup / approx 120ml milk (1/2 block carb, 1/2 block protein)
1/2 cup / approx 90g frozen berries (1/2 block carb)
1 1/2 Tbsp protein powder (1 1/2 blocks protein)
1/2 Tsp sunflower seeds (2 blocks fat)

1) Put uncooked oats and seeds in a bowl and just cover with boiling water. Leave to stand until water has been absorbed and oats are thick. Usually about 10mins. (The amount of uncooked oats you need will depend upon the type you use. Try a couple of heaped Tbsp for the required amount of cooked oats).
2) Put soaked oats and seeds in a blender with everything else and whiz until smooth.

TIP: Using fruit straight from the freezer thickens the smoothie, add a little water if you prefer yours thinner.
