Peach & Oat Smoothie
If you cannot find fresh peaches, use frozen ones (they will further thicken the smoothie). Peaches were first cultivated in China where they are considered a symbol of immortality and friendship. Nutritionally, they are a good source of selenium and vitamins A and C. Chia seeds are not only a complete protein, but supply the much needed omega-3 fatty acids missing from so many modern diets.

Directions
Add all ingredients to a blender and let set for 5 to 10 minutes so the oats and chia seeds can soak. Then blend until smooth.
To thicken, add another half of a frozen banana. To thin out, add more almond milk or orange juice.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed. If you need to add sweetness, try adding a little bit of maple syrup.
Serve immediately.
