Ingredients
Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana (chopped into chunks)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk, plus more as needed to reach desired consistency
- 3 tablespoons old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder (e.g., Nuzest)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen banana chunks, unsweetened almond or oat milk, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency without any oat or banana chunks remaining.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is thicker than you prefer, gradually add more almond or oat milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass or bowl depending on whether you prefer to consume it with a straw or a spoon. Optionally, top with your favorite smoothie toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen banana to achieve a creamy, chilled texture without added ice.
- Old fashioned rolled oats add fiber and bulk, making the smoothie more filling.
- Choose a high-quality vanilla protein powder for best flavor and protein content.
- Adjust the milk quantity to control the smoothie thickness to your liking.
- Optional toppings can include chia seeds, flaxseeds, fresh berries, or nuts.
