Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
- 1 scoop Protein powder (optional, chocolate or vanilla flavored)
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 3 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Add the rolled oats and almond milk to a blender. Let them sit for 1–2 minutes to allow the oats to soften slightly.
Peel and slice the frozen banana into smaller chunks for easier blending, if necessary, and add it to the blender.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and protein powder (if using) to the blender.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in honey or maple syrup at this stage.
Add the ice cubes for a refreshing, chilled consistency.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Pour the smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup if you're on the move.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a dusting of cocoa powder for presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
