Notes

  • Calories: 211 Fat: 3 Carbs: 36 Sugar: 22 Fiber: 7 Protein: 12
  • This also has 211% of your Vitamin A, 116% of your Vitamin C, 37% Calcium, and 19% of your iron--not too bad for a snack!
  • Tip: To help your blender out, you can soak the oak groats in the orange juice overnight (either in the jar of your blender or in in a glass). This will make it easier to blend and will also eliminate a lot of the grittiness from the oats.
