Description

A creamy and nutritious Peanut Butter Banana Shake made with frozen banana, rolled oats, natural peanut butter, and almond milk. This smoothie is perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, rich in sweet and nutty flavors with optional boost from protein powder, maca, and a splash of cold brew coffee.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • ⅓ cup whole rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Handfuls of ice

Optional Add-ins and Toppings

  • Chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
  • Vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • Maca powder (optional)
  • Splash of cold brew coffee (optional)
  • Cocoa or cacao powder (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen banana, rolled oats, natural peanut butter, and unsweetened almond milk. These ingredients form the base of the shake and provide creaminess and flavor.
  2. Blend base ingredients: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring the oats and banana are fully broken down.
  3. Add ice and optional add-ins: Add handfuls of ice for chill and thickness. Include any optional ingredients like vanilla protein powder, maca powder, cold brew coffee, or cocoa powder to enhance flavor and nutrition.
  4. Blend again: Blend all ingredients together until the shake reaches a smooth, creamy consistency without chunks of ice or oats.
  5. Serve: Pour the shake into one large glass or two smaller glasses. Top with chocolate chips if desired for a sweet, crunchy finish.

Notes

  • This shake makes a nourishing and filling breakfast or snack option, packed with protein and fiber.
  • Using a frozen banana ensures a creamy texture without added ice cream.
  • Rolled oats add thickness and provide slow-digesting carbohydrates to keep you full longer.
  • Adjust sweetness and flavor by adding optional ingredients like cocoa powder or cold brew coffee.
  • The shake can be customized with your favorite protein powders or superfood powders for a nutritional boost.
