2. The Shopping List (No Fancy Ingredients, Promise!)
Here’s what you’ll need for 1 large smoothie (or 2 smaller portions):
- 1 medium banana (ripe = sweeter flavor!)
- ½ cup rolled oats (not instant; Bob’s Red Mill is my go-to)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (25–30g; Optimum Nutrition or Orgain for plant-based)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you love)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (omit for vegan, or use coconut yogurt)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (creamy or crunchy; Justin’s or homemade)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, if you like it sweeter)
- Ice cubes (handful, or use frozen banana)
- Optional boosts: ½ tsp cinnamon, chia seeds, or dark chocolate chips

3. Prep Like a Pro (Seriously, It’s Foolproof)
- Peel that banana: If using a frozen one, thaw it for 2–3 minutes to avoid blender rage.
- Measure your oats: No eyeballing! ½ cup keeps it thick but drinkable.
- Prep add-ins: Got chia seeds or cinnamon? Keep ’em handy.
4. Blending 101 (No Cooking, Just Chaos in a Blender)
- Layer smart: Add milk first (trust me, it prevents clumping).
- Toss in everything: Banana, oats, protein powder, yogurt, peanut butter, honey, ice.
- Blend like you mean it: Start on low for 10 seconds, then blast on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth.
- Pro tip: Too thick? Add 1–2 tbsp milk. Too thin? More ice or oats.

9. FAQs (You Asked, I Answered)
Q: Can I skip the oats?
A: Sure, but you’ll lose the thickness. Try ¼ cup cauliflower rice (yes, really!) instead.
Q: My protein powder tastes chalky. Help!
A: Blend it with the milk first, or try a different brand. Unflavored protein powder works too!
Q: Can I make this vegan?
A: Yep! Use plant-based protein, coconut yogurt, and maple syrup.
Q: Can I use water instead of milk?
A: Technically yes, but it’ll taste sad. Milk adds creaminess!
Q: How long does it keep?
A: Drink it fresh. It gets gloppy in the fridge (still edible, though!).
