Description
A delicious and healthy oatmeal smoothie perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (25g) old-fashioned oats or quick oats
- 1 banana, chopped into chunks and frozen
- 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon (16g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon (7.5ml) pure maple syrup plus additional to taste
- 1/21/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/21/2 teaspoon (1.5g) ground cinnamon
- 1/81/2 teaspoon (0.5g) kosher salt
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Blend It Smooth: Start by tossing all your ingredients into a blender. You want everything to be evenly mixed, so adjust the speed until it is all frothy and creamy. It will likely smell incredible as the oats and bananas mingle together. If it feels a bit too thick, do not hesitate to add a splash of almond milk to help it mix better.
- Serve & Enjoy: Once it is super smooth, grab your favorite glass and pour it in. The texture should feel velvety, and you will probably see tiny oats swirling around. If it is not sweet enough, just stir in a little extra maple syrup! And keep an eye out; this smoothie can settle, so give it a good stir before sipping.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store this smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. This smoothie tastes best the day it is made.
- Expert Tips: Freeze bananas ahead of time for a thicker smoothie. Pre-portion ingredients and freeze for quick prep. If the smoothie is too thin, adding either more oats or an extra banana works wonders for thickness. When your blender struggles with thick mixtures, a splash of almond milk can help it blend smoothly. If you are looking to sweeten the smoothie, extra maple syrup or honey can adjust the flavor to your liking.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a slice of whole grain toast. Serve alongside a handful of mixed nuts. Top with granola for added crunch.
- Recipe Variations: Replace half the banana with frozen strawberries. Add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein. Mix in a handful of spinach for added nutrients.
- Ingredient Notes: Use any milk of choice if you do not have almond milk. If not vegan, you may substitute maple syrup with honey. For a different texture, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead.
