Berry and oat smoothie

Use of the Thermomix has declined during the heatwave when the BBQ got a workout and simple salads were the focus of our dining.

This morning I made my first smoothie using the Martha Stewart Oatmeal Smoothie recipe. I halved the recipe as I was only making enough for me, used frozen mixed berries, and substituted lactose free milk for coconut water as I didn't have any. It was delicious!!! I don't think I blended it for long enough (1 minute) as there were still small bits of ice but it added crunch it the drink. I will regularly be making this. Today I bought some white chia seeds to be included in the next one.
