Make a Tasty Oatmeal Smoothie!

Hey readers,

Summer is almost here which means it’s time to start thinking about delicious treats you can enjoy in the sun. Here’s a simple recipe you can make for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

You’ll need:

• Three-quarter cup of rolled oats
• One-quarter cup of raisins
• One-quarter teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
• One cup of whole milk
• Half a cup of full-fat vanilla yogurt
• One tablespoon of dark brown sugar
• One and a half cup of ice
• A blender

What to do:

• Add the oats, raisins and pumpkin pie spice into a blender and pour in the milk.
• Stir completely and set aside until the oats are soft. This could take up to 15 minutes.
• Blend the mixture on high speed until it’s completely smooth.
• Add the yogurt, brown sugar and ice, and blend on high speed until completely smooth.
• Pour into glasses and enjoy!

National Panda Day!

Hey readers,

Today is National Panda Day! This day was created to help spread the word about one of the world’s most endangered species. It helps highlight the efforts of the animal-loving community that is dedicated to protecting and restoring habitats.

We’re going to celebrate today by learning some cool facts about pandas.

• Pandas are good at climbing trees and they can also swim.
• Pandas are born fur-less and pink. The black and white colour comes about three weeks later.
• They are also born blind and open their eyes six to eight weeks later.
• An adult panda spends up to 12 hours eating. That’s a lot!
• Pandas do not hibernate. When winter comes, they head down their mountain homes to warmer areas, where they continue to chomp away on bamboo!
