Print Recipe

A rich and satisfying protein smoothie blending creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, oats, and cocoa powder for a quick, nutritious breakfast or post-workout boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe medium banana (about 7 to 8 inches long)
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (20 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (about 30 grams, whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (240 ml; dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 4–5 ice cubes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the ripe banana and slice it into chunks for easier blending. Measure out the rolled oats, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and protein powder.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk or milk alternative into the blender.
  3. Add the oats first, then banana chunks, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and protein powder. Add ice cubes if desired.
  4. Pulse the blender for about 30 seconds, then blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
  5. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly. If too thin, add a few more oats or banana slices and blend again.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by blending in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if needed.
  7. Pour into your favorite glass or travel mug and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder or drizzle peanut butter on top.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Soak oats in milk for 10 minutes if using a low-speed blender. Avoid overblending to prevent warming the smoothie. Freeze banana slices and oats for a thicker, colder smoothie. Adjust thickness by varying milk and frozen ingredients. Substitute nut butters and protein powders to suit dietary preferences.
