Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 medium frozen bananas, chopped into chunks
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup soy milk or any plant-based milk
  • ½ cup plain plant-based yogurt

Flavor and Nutrition Boosters

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the frozen banana chunks, rolled oats, plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, peanut butter, chia seeds or flaxseed, vanilla extract, maple syrup if using, vanilla protein powder if using, and ground cinnamon into a blender.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is thick, smooth, and creamy without any large chunks remaining.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a large glass. Garnish with a drizzle of peanut butter, a few rolled oats, and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately for best taste and freshness.

Notes

  • Use frozen bananas to achieve a creamy, thick texture without adding ice.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding or omitting the maple syrup depending on your taste preference.
  • Substitute with any plant-based milk of choice, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
  • The optional protein powder is great for added protein, especially post-workout or as a meal replacement.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, but flaxseed can be used as a substitute.
  • Consume immediately as the oats may thicken the smoothie further if left to sit.
