Description
A creamy, nutty, and satisfying smoothie blending wholesome oats, ripe banana, and peanut butter — perfect for weight loss and cozy fall mornings, especially alongside a fresh Pumpkin Muffins Recipe.
Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 4–5 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- If using a high-powered blender, add oats directly. For a smoother texture, soak oats in almond milk for 10–15 minutes.
- Add oats, banana, peanut butter, almond milk, cinnamon, and optional sweetener to blender.
- Blend starting on low speed, increasing to high for 45–60 seconds until smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Tips: Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness, choose rolled oats for a smooth texture, and don’t skip the cinnamon for that cozy fall feel. Variations: Gluten-Free — choose certified gluten-free oats; Pumpkin Spice Twist — add ¼ cup pumpkin purée and pinch of nutmeg; High-Protein — add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder; Chocolate Version — replace half the oats with 1 tbsp cocoa powder. Storage: Refrigerate up to 24 hours in an airtight jar (shake before drinking) or freeze in ice cube trays and re-blend with milk.
