- 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves

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.
