Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oats whole or quick
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 cup high protein Greek Yogurt plain or vanilla-flavored
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey optional, adjust to taste

Optional protein boosts*

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flax
  • 1-2 tablespoons hemp hearts
  • 1 scoop unflavored or chocolate protein powder, or peanut butter powder
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add oats and milk to the blender and let them sit 5-10 minutes to soak before adding other ingredients. This will soften the oats before blending so you don’t end up with a gritty texture.
  • Add remaining ingredients in the order listed.
  • Blend on high until smooth and creamy, 30–60 seconds. Note that this smoothie will thicken as it sits, due to the oats absorbing liquid. If you like a very thick smoothie, store it in fridge for 30 mins or so to thicken even more before serving.
