Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats or quick oats provides the base and adds fiber
  • 1 banana chopped into chunks and frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk a light and dairy-free liquid base
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter for protein and a rich, nutty flavor
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup sweetens the smoothie naturally; adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth and spice
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt don’t skip this, as it makes the oatmeal pop
  • Ice optional; add at the end if you want a thicker smoothie

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Glass or mason jar

Method
 

  1. Start by collecting all the ingredients. Ensure your banana is frozen for that creamy texture.
  2. In your high-speed blender, combine the oats, cinnamon, and salt. Blend for a few seconds until the oats are finely ground.
  3. Add the frozen banana chunks, almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blender.
  4. Blend on high until everything is well combined and smooth, about 30-60 seconds. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add ice and blend again.
  5. Taste your smoothie. If you want it sweeter, add a touch more maple syrup and blend again.
  6. Pour your Oatmeal Smoothie into a glass or mason jar. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or sliced bananas if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
  • For a quick treat, freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays and blend with almond milk later.
  • Feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
  • Steel-cut oats can be substituted but may require longer blending.
  • Adding protein powder is great for a post-workout snack!
