This all-in-one milk-and-cookies smoothie makes a nice change of pace for a summer breakfast or afternoon snack. For little kids: Let them help press the buttons on the blender. (Be sure to let it run for a full minute before you add the ice so the oatmeal-and-raisin mixture gets as smooth as possible.) For big kids: Let them measure the ingredients-it's the perfect time to teach them the difference between wet and dry ingredient measuring cups

--Ingredients--

3/4 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or cocoa powder if you prefer)

1 cup whole milk, plus more if needed

1/2 cup full-fat vanilla yogurt

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

--STEP 1--

Add the oats, raisins and pumpkin pie spice to the carafe of a blender and pour in the milk, adding more to cover the oats if needed. Stir completely and set aside until the oats are soft, 15 minutes.

--STEP 2--

Blend on high speed until pureed and smooth, about 1 minute. Add the yoghurt, brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups ice, and blend on high speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
