Almonds are a great source of vitamin E, a fat-soluble nutrient and antioxidant, and contain beneficial amounts of dietary fiber, B-vitamins and minerals like magnesium, copper, manganese and calcium. They're also rich in monounsaturated fats, the "good" fats that help maintain a healthy LDL cholesterol level.

If you've never tried oats in your smoothie, you're in for a treat. They're filling and add an extra boost of creaminess, without dairy. If you're looking for more protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

3 tablespoons oats (gluten-free if desired)
