Ingredients

¾ cup rolled oats or old fashioned
¾ cup liquid egg whites
¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 small banana or ½ a large banana
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Add oats, liquid egg whites, cottage cheese, banana, baking powder, vanilla extract and salt to blender, and blend until smooth, about 30-45 seconds.
