Ingredients
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk or dairy or non-dairy milk of choice
- 1 banana frozen is great
- 1 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey and to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 5 to 6 ice cubes if you didn't use frozen bananas and want it thicker
Instructions
- Blend the oats first until they are mostly finely ground.
- Then add the banana, Greek yogurt, milk of choice, peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey) vanilla, cinnamon, and pinch of salt. If needed, add the ice cubes and secure the lid.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Taste for sweetness and enjoy!
Notes
Bananas:
- You can use frozen banana slices, or you can peel a banana, break it into chunks and add it to the blender. Your choice.
- Frozen bananas will give the smoothie a thicker, creamier consistency. Fresh bananas will result in a more liquidity smoothie.
- To freeze bananas, slice into rounds and freeze for a few hours. I like to keep a supply in the freezer for quick, easy, and healthy snacks or smoothies.
