1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
½ teaspoon turmeric + pinch pepper
½ inch fresh ginger peeled
1 cup non-dairy milk
Optional: top with granola and fruit

Add all other ingredients in blender until creamy.
Optional: Top with your favorite granola or fruit. Enjoy!

Notes

Why do I need to blend the oats first?

Blending the oats first helps avoid a gritty texture in your smoothie. This also makes them more digestible.

How do know if my vegan yogurt has probiotics?

Not all vegan/non-dairy yogurts have probiotics. Check the label. Look for phrases like "contains live and active cultures" or "contains probiotics." You can also check the ingredient list for specific strains of probiotics like Lactobacillus acidophilus or Bifidobacterium lactis.

Substitutions:

- Try out a different nut butter like almond or cashew. For a nut-free version use sunflower butter.

- Add in other seeds like hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds for more protein.

- Try other frozen fruits: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and more!
