Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe banana fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
  • 1 cup milk dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes if using fresh banana

Method
 

  1. Add the rolled oats and milk to the blender and let them soak for 2 minutes to soften (optional but recommended).
  2. Add the banana, almond butter, honey (if using), and cinnamon to the blender.
  3. Toss in the ice cubes (if using a fresh banana) or skip if using frozen banana.
  4. Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan version: Use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Make it thicker: Use a frozen banana and reduce the milk to 3/4 cup.
  • Boost the protein: Add 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
  • Meal prep: Combine dry oats and cinnamon in a jar; add liquid and banana in the morning for a fast blend
