Banana Bread Smoothie
Serves 3
Ingredients
3 bananas (preferably ripe; frozen for extra thickness)
1/4 cup yogurt of choice (I like banana, vanilla, or Greek yogurt)
8 ounces (1 cup) milk of choice
3 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons walnuts (optional)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 scoop of ice
Directions
Add all ingredients, except the ice, to a blender and blend until smooth.
Add the ice and blend again until thickened.
For a thicker consistency, add more ice or yogurt. For a thinner consistency, add more milk.
Additional Notes
Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a chocolate version. You can also mix in dark chocolate chips at the end for added texture.
For dietary preferences, ensure the oats are gluten-free if needed, and use non-dairy milk and yogurt for a fully plant-based option.
To turn this into a smoothie bowl, use frozen bananas and add extra ice for a thicker consistency. Top with fresh banana slices, walnuts, peanut butter, and granola.
You can make this smoothie in advance by pouring it into ice cube trays and freezing. In the morning, blend the smoothie cubes with a splash of milk for a quick and easy smoothie.
