Sure, I'd compare the taste to a blueberry muffin but, you know, in liquid form.

1L freshly steeped green tea (2 min, less if you dislike the flavour)

1/2 cup quick oats

1/2 tsp. nutritional yeast

1/2 tsp. flax seed meal, finely ground (use a coffee grinder if too coarse)

pinch of salt

cinnamon to taste

1 to 2 Tbsp. nut butter (I use soy and I've also tried cashew and almond but I find them too oily, coconut oil is an option too, use whatever you prefer)

1 to 2 Tbsp. of creamed honey, using regular honey will make it much sweeter

1/2 or 1 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries or other fruit

2 or 3 Tbsp. of milk, powdered or fresh

I also add a multivitamin and other supplements but they aren't necessary.

Combine ingredients in a blender and blend for a minute or so until the oatmeal is reduced to the consistency of a shake. Serve hot or cold.

I usually drink half the mixture immediately and then either save the rest for a mid-morning snack or continue drinking it while I'm starting my day. I've experimented with adding other seeds and grains but I find this mixture to be the most to my liking but it is an adaptable recipe so you can add whatever you prefer.
