Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to blend.
- In a blender, combine the banana pieces, peanut butter, cocoa powder, rolled oats, and almond milk. If you like your smoothie sweeter, add the honey or maple syrup at this stage.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup. You can also garnish it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few oats on top for added texture.
- Enjoy your Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Smoothie immediately for the best flavor and texture!
