Description

This Chia Banana Boost smoothie is creamy, energizing, and nutrient-packed. It’s made with roasted banana, chia seeds, oats, almond milk, and nut butter for a naturally sweet, fiber-rich smoothie perfect for breakfast or post-workout.


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
  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Roast the banana at 350°F for 15 minutes if desired, then let it cool.
  2. Add almond milk to the blender first.
  3. Add banana, oats, nut butter, dates, and cinnamon.
  4. Add chia seeds before or after blending.
  5. Add ice and blend until smooth.
  6. Let the smoothie sit 10–20 minutes if chia is added post-blend.
  7. 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.
