Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • Rolled oats (1/4 cup) – Adds fiber, creaminess, and long-lasting energy.
  • Unsweetened almond milk (1 cup) – Low-calorie base; use any milk you like.
  • Natural peanut butter (1 to 1.5 tablespoons) – Healthy fats and rich flavor.
  • Plain Greek yogurt (1/3 cup) – Protein and creaminess; use dairy-free yogurt if needed.
  • Frozen banana (1/2 medium) – Natural sweetness and thick texture.
  • Ground flaxseed or chia seeds (1 tablespoon) – Extra fiber and omega-3s.
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon) – Rounds out flavor.
  • Cinnamon (1/4 teaspoon) – Warmth and subtle sweetness.
  • Ice (a few cubes) – Optional, for extra thickness.
  • Optional add-ins: a pinch of salt, a drizzle of honey or a date for more sweetness, or a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder to boost protein.

Instructions

  • Soften the oats: Add the rolled oats and almond milk to your blender and let them sit for 2–3 minutes. This helps them blend silky smooth.
  • Add the rest: Toss in peanut butter, Greek yogurt, frozen banana, flax or chia, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add ice if you like it extra cold and thick.
  • Blend until creamy: Start low, then blend on high for 30–45 seconds, until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. Too thin? Add more ice or a spoon of oats.
  • Taste and adjust: Need more sweetness? Add half a date or a tiny drizzle of honey. Want more protein? Blend in half a scoop of protein powder and a bit more milk.
  • Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or oats on top if you’re feeling fancy.
