Instructions

1. Peel and freeze your banana at least 2 hours ahead or overnight for thick texture. If using a fresh banana, add a handful of ice cubes instead.

2. Add all ingredients to your blender starting with the frozen banana, then milk, oats, nuts, nut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla.

3. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. If too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time. If too thin, add more frozen banana.

4. Pour into a glass and top with granola if desired. Serve immediately while perfectly chilled and creamy.

Notes

Freeze bananas in slices for easier blending, not whole bananas.

Any milk works – whole milk makes it creamier, plant-based milks work great too.

Any nut butter works – try peanut, cashew, or sunflower seed butter.

Do not use steel-cut oats – they won’t blend smooth.

Prep freezer bags on Sunday with banana, oats, nuts, and chia seeds for quick mornings.

This makes two small or one large smoothie.

Best served the same day, but can keep in fridge up to 2 days.
