Description
A thick, creamy, and satisfying 5-minute breakfast smoothie packed with protein and fiber. Made with frozen bananas, peanut butter, oats, and optional protein powder, this drink keeps you full for hours and tastes like a milkshake.
Ingredients
- 2 medium frozen bananas, peeled and sliced (about 200g)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (32g)
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats (20g)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g)
- 1 scoop protein powder (30g, optional)
- 1/2 cup ice (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas, then freeze them until solid. Measure out oats, chia seeds, and peanut butter.
- Pour milk into the blender first to help blades spin freely. Add protein powder if using.
- Add oats, chia seeds, peanut butter, and any other dry ingredients like spinach or cocoa powder.
- Add the frozen bananas to the blender.
- Blend on low speed to break up the fruit, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust consistency by adding more milk if too thick or more frozen fruit/ice if too thin.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, ensure bananas are frozen solid. If your blender is weak, soak oats in milk for 5 minutes before blending. Chia seeds absorb liquid, so let the smoothie sit for 5 minutes after blending or soak chia seeds beforehand. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking as chia seeds will settle.
