I was on a huge smoothie for breakfast kick this summer.  Fresh berries and yogurt in a million different combinations; what could be better?  I've got out of the habit now that berry season is behind us, but that changed early this week when I got my new issue of Everyday Food.  Each month they share a quick and easy breakfast idea and this month's is my new favorite breakfast.  Banana-Oat Smoothie anyone?  It sounds kind of weird, but trust me, it is good!  It was meant to be as I had some yogurt headed rapidly for it's sell by date, a banana that was showing its age and some fresh from the farm honey I was dying to try.  Add to the fact that I got to use my favorite kitchen tool, the immersion blender, and I was sold! 
Banana-Oat Smoothie
In a blender, combine 1/4 cup regular oats, 1/2 cup low fat yogurt (I used vanilla), 1 banana, 1/2 cup skim milk, 2 tsp honey, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.  Puree until smooth.  Serve immediately.
