Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
- 1–2 tablespoons almond, cashew, or peanut butter
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, adjust for desired thickness)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or 1-2 pitted Medjool dates (soaked if desired)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Mini chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep Ingredients: Gather and measure all of your ingredients. Ensure your banana is frozen and sliced for best results.
- Step 2: Load Blender: Add the milk to your blender first, followed by the maple syrup (or dates), vanilla extract, and nut butter. Then, add the frozen banana, rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Step 3: Blend Until Smooth: Begin blending on low speed, then gradually increase to high. Blend until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Step 4: Check Consistency: If too thick, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, and blend briefly. For an extra cold smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
