This smoothie is like a shake and it’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or even dessert. It’s also pretty filling because of the oats, protein powder, and peanut butter.
I don’t typically measure out my ingredients when making smoothies. I usually just eyeball it, but I wanted to create some smoothie recipes with concrete measurements for people to recreate. To make this smoothie thicker, add more ice and if the smoothie isn’t blending very well, then add a little more almond milk. You could also add sweetener to this smoothie if you’d like, but I think it’s sweet enough with the banana.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- ¼ cup gluten-free rolled oats
- A serving of chocolate protein powder (I used the Nuzest Digestive Support protein)
- 2 teaspoons cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup almond milk
- Ice (I probably used about 10-12 ice cubes, but you can add as much as you’d like. The more ice, the thicker the smoothie)
- Cacao nibs to top (optional)
Directions
- Blend together all the ingredients except the cacao nibs.
- Pour into a glass and top with cacao nibs and some more peanut butter, if wanted.
