Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and wholesome smoothie combining peanut butter, ripe bananas, oats, and Greek yogurt for a creamy, nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural, no added sugar recommended)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (about 20g), quick oats can be used
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, soy, or dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla-flavored
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the oats in about 1/4 cup (60ml) of milk for 5-10 minutes to soften (optional but recommended).
  2. Peel and break the bananas into chunks for easier blending.
  3. Add soaked oats (including liquid), banana chunks, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, remaining milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and vanilla extract into the blender.
  4. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until creamy and uniform. Add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time if too thick and blend again.
  5. Add ice cubes if desired and blend for an additional 30 seconds.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon if needed, then blend briefly to mix.
  7. Serve immediately or pour into airtight containers for meal prep. Makes about 2 servings (each roughly 12 ounces or 350ml).

Notes

Soaking oats softens them and prevents graininess. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency. Store smoothies in airtight containers for up to 48 hours in fridge or freeze up to 1 month. Stir or shake before drinking. For vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk, and maple syrup instead of honey.
