Banana Bread Oat Protein Smoothie
Description
The Banana Bread Oat Protein Smoothie layers ripe frozen banana with nut butter and almond milk as the creamy base. Gluten-free rolled oats add thickness and texture, while vanilla extract and cinnamon bring warm, comforting flavors reminiscent of banana bread. Protein powder enhances the smoothie’s satiating quality, available in vanilla, peanut butter, or chocolate flavors to complement ingredients.
Blended with ice cubes, the drink becomes chilled and slightly thickened. Its taste can be adjusted by adding more peanut butter or cinnamon after blending. The smoothie thickens further when left standing briefly due to the oats absorbing liquid. This combination provides a convenient, nutrient-rich option suitable for those seeking a filling, sweet smoothie with a balanced flavor profile.
Alternative options include omitting protein powder for those preferring a dairy-free or less processed drink, using extra chia seeds or peanut butter, or substituting Greek yogurt to maintain creaminess and protein content.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ banana peeled and frozen, large, ripe
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter or almond butter, unsweetened
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1/3 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 coops protein powder vanilla, peanut butter or chocolate flavor recommended
- 1 tsp chia seeds optional
- 1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 3 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add it all to a blender and blend well until completely smooth. Taste for flavor and add more almond butter and/or ground cinnamon to taste.
- Note: the smoothie will become even thicker and more delicious as it sits on account of the oats. For best results, drink 3 to 5 minutes after preparing.
Notes
- If skipping protein powder, enhance texture and protein by increasing chia seeds, peanut butter, peanut butter powder, or adding Greek yogurt.
- For best flavor and texture, drink the smoothie within 3 to 5 minutes after blending, as it thickens as oats absorb liquid.
