- ½ cup Oats (quick oats)
- 2 tsp Chia Seeds
- 3 Bananas (frozen)
- 2 Cups Milk or Almond Milk
- 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
- 3 Tbsp Peanut Butter
- 3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
- 2 Tbsp honey optional
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Prepare the Ingredients: Make sure the bananas are frozen for a thicker, creamier smoothie. Peel and slice the bananas before freezing for easier blending. Measure out all the ingredients for easy assembly.
Blend the Base Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the ½ cup quick oats and 2 tsp chia seeds. Blend on high for a few seconds to break down the oats and chia seeds into a finer consistency.
the Fruits and Liquids: Add the 3 frozen bananas, 2 cups of milk or almond milk, and 1 cup of Greek yogurt to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Incorporate the Flavor Enhancers: Add the 3 tbsp peanut butter, 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tbsp honey (if using), and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Blend again until all the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie has a rich, uniform texture.
Adjust Consistency: Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it's too thick, add a little more milk or almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately. You can also garnish with a sprinkle of oats, chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir or shake before drinking.
