A quick, nourishing, and creamy smoothie bowl made with ripe bananas, oats, and protein powder, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (approx. 25g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy, unsweetened)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (optional, can substitute dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (can substitute chia seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the ripe bananas and break them into chunks. Measure out the oats, protein powder, and other ingredients.
  2. Place the rolled oats in your blender and pulse until they form a fine powder (about 20 seconds).
  3. Add the banana chunks, protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sweetener into the blender.
  4. Blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, stopping halfway to scrape down the sides to ensure even mixing. The texture should be thick but spoonable.
  5. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk and pulse briefly. If too thin, add more oats or frozen banana chunks for thickness.
  6. Pour the smoothie into a wide bowl and add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of nut butter.
  7. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours, stirring before serving.

Notes

Blend oats finely to avoid grainy texture; use ripe bananas for natural sweetness; adjust milk quantity to achieve desired thickness; protein powder flavor should be mild to not overpower banana; can prep oat and protein powder mix the night before but add banana and milk fresh in the morning.
