Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium ripe banana (or roasted)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
- 1–2 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Roast the banana at 350°F for 15 minutes if desired, then let it cool.
- Add almond milk to the blender first.
- Add banana, oats, nut butter, dates, and cinnamon.
- Add chia seeds before or after blending.
- Add ice and blend until smooth.
- Let the smoothie sit 10–20 minutes if chia is added post-blend.
- Serve in a tall glass with banana slices and cinnamon on top.
Notes
- Letting the smoothie rest after blending gives the chia time to thicken for a better texture.
- You can swap nut butter for sunflower seed butter to make it nut-free.
- Roasted bananas add caramel-like depth, but fresh bananas work too.
