This Oatmeal Smoothie is a delicious and nutritious way to kickstart your day!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats or quick oats
- 1 medium banana chopped into chunks and frozen
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup plus additional to taste
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (don’t skip this, as it makes the oatmeal pop!)
- as needed Ice (optional, add at the end if you want a thicker smoothie)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Gather your ingredients. Measure out the oats, banana, almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. If you’re using ice, set that aside as well.
- In your blender, combine the oats, frozen banana chunks, almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add some ice and blend again until well combined.
- After blending, taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup and blend again.
- Pour your Oatmeal Smoothie into a glass or mason jar, and enjoy immediately. You can also top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of peanut butter for an extra touch.
