Notes
- Nutritional data includes vanilla protein powder.
- high-speed blender
- peanut butter powder
- Frozen bananas keep the smoothie cold and creamy and keep it cold so you don't have to add ice cubes, which can water it down. If you don't have a frozen banana, you can add a few ice cubes.
- I like to blend the raw oats in the blender first to pulverize them and then add the rest of the ingredients so that there are no big pieces in the smoothie. If you have a good high-speed blender, you can skip this step and just toss everything in together.
- You can throw a handful of greens like baby spinach into the smoothie for even more nutrients. It will change the color but won't affect the taste much.
- You can use peanut butter powder instead of peanut butter if you're on a restricted-calorie diet. Peanut butter powder has less calories and fat than regular peanut butter.
- You can use vanilla or chocolate protein powder in this smoothie. You can also use Greek yogurt for a boost of protein if you don't have protein powder.
