A creamy, nutty smoothie combining peanut butter, banana, oats, and protein powder for a quick, wholesome energy boost. Perfect for busy mornings or a late-night snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy or crunchy peanut butter (natural, no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup (about 20 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (about 30 grams) vanilla-flavored protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, or coconut milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60 grams) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and break the banana into chunks. If using frozen banana, no need to thaw.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the blender.
  3. Measure and add 1/4 cup rolled oats to the blender.
  4. Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of your preferred milk.
  6. Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if using.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Add a handful of ice cubes if desired.
  9. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until oats are smooth but still slightly textured. Stop and scrape sides once or twice.
  10. Check consistency and taste; add more milk or sweetener if needed. Blend again if adjusted.
  11. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

If blender struggles with oats, soak oats in milk for 5-10 minutes before blending. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired thickness. Protein powder type affects texture; vanilla flavor blends best. Prepare ingredients night before but blend fresh in morning for best taste.
