Vegan Banana Oat Protein Smoothie

This Banana Oat Vegan Protein Smoothie is my absolute favorite quick and easy breakfast option. Delicious, filling, and a great way to use up your frozen or extra ripe bananas.

Why I Love this Recipe

• Wholesome Ingredients – This smoothie is made with just 4 ingredients, no added sweeteners, and minimal processing.
• Customizable – You can easily change up the milk option or even the nut butter. Use what you have!
• Delicious & filling – It’s hard to beat a peanut butter-banana combo. And you can’t go wrong with 6g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

• Banana – Fresh or frozen works great. Using frozen will give you a colder smoothie right away if you don’t want to refrigerate or add ice cubes to the mix.
• Raw Oats – I use old-fashioned raw oats for this recipe. Steel cut will work fine.
• Peanut butter – You can control the added sugar even more with which nut butter you choose. Of course, you can opt for something like almond butter or sun butter if you have allergies.
• Almond milk – I choose almond milk for the protein, but oat milk has a good deal of protein as well if you need to eliminate tree nuts from this recipe.

How to Make Vegan Protein Smoothies

Start by choosing your blender. If you are making just one serving and have a one-serving blender, that makes your choice easy! You could easily double or even triple this recipe and use a larger blender as well.

Blend it Up

All you need to do is add all of the ingredients into the blender and mix.

Tip: Add the peanut butter in the order that it’ll be closest to the blade of the blender. So for larger blenders, add the peanut butter first, and for one-serving blenders, add it last. This prevents the peanut butter from sticking to the sides and helps it mix into the smoothie easily.

Optional Add-ins

Some great options for add-ins to make this smoothie even more delicious:

• 1 Tbsp Chia seed
• 1 Tbsp Hemp seed
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup or agave

How to Store Vegan Banana Oat Protein Smoothie

• Fridge – This smoothie is great to make ahead and keep in the fridge for lunchtime or a quick after-workout snack. Make it up to 48 hours in advance. Just give it an extra shake before drinking, some separation is normal.
