Peanut Butter Banana Power

This is the smoothie I make when I know lunch is going to be late and I need breakfast to actually stay with me. I started blending it before long errand days, when a light fruit smoothie was not enough. It tastes like a milkshake grew up, got a calendar, and learned boundaries. I mean that lovingly.

Why I Love This One

I love this one because it feels cozy and practical at the same time. Peanut butter makes it rich, banana makes it creamy, and cacao gives it a soft chocolate note without turning breakfast into dessert.

When I make it, I feel like I am packing a little fuel tank for myself. It is not the lightest smoothie on the site, and that is exactly why I love it on busy mornings.

Once the flavors are in your head, the rest is beautifully simple. Here is exactly how I make it in my own kitchen.

Here's What You'll Need

  1. One cup of oat milk
  2. One large frozen banana
  3. One tablespoon of natural peanut butter
  4. One teaspoon of cacao powder
  5. One teaspoon of honey
  6. One tablespoon of rolled oats
  7. A small handful of ice

I like to gather everything before I start blending, because smoothies move fast once the blender is out.

Let's Blend It Together

1

Pour the oat milk into the blender so the peanut butter has enough liquid to loosen.

2

Add the frozen banana, peanut butter, cacao, honey, oats, and ice.

3

Blend until the oats are fully smooth and the texture looks creamy and thick.

4

Taste it and add a splash more oat milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie.

5

Pour into a glass and drink slowly, because this one is filling in the best way.

Made's Tips

Use natural peanut butter with just peanuts and salt for the cleanest flavor.

A frozen banana gives this smoothie its milkshake texture.

If you want extra staying power, add another tablespoon of oats and a splash more oat milk.

I hope this one carries you kindly through a full morning. Love, Made
