Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Bananas – 2 medium approximately 120g each
  • Rolled oats – 1/2 cup 120 ml
  • Protein powder vanilla or unflavored – 2 scoops
  • Almond milk unsweetened – 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Greek yogurt unsweetened – 1/2 cup (120 ml)
  • Honey or maple syrup – 1 tbsp 15 ml
  • Ice cubes – a handful
  • Chia seeds optional – 1 tsp (5 ml)
  • Vanilla extract optional – 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml)

Method
 

  1. Begin by peeling and slicing the bananas into small chunks.
  2. In your blender, add the sliced bananas.
  3. Pour in the almond milk.
  4. Add your rolled oats to the mixture. This is the secret ingredient to your Banana and Oats Protein Shake that adds that smooth texture.
  5. Scoop in the protein powder.
  6. Followed by the Greek yogurt to add some creaminess.
  7. Sweeten your shake by drizzling in the honey or maple syrup.
  8. If using, sprinkle the chia seeds for an extra nutritional kick.
  9. Add a dash of vanilla extract if desired.
  10. Throw in the ice cubes to make it a refreshing cold beverage.
  11. Blend until smooth, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your preferred consistency.

Notes

TIPS:
1. If you’re looking for a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt.
2. Feel free to add some spinach or kale for extra greens without altering the Banana and Oats Protein Shake’s taste too much.
3. Always ensure your protein powder is of high quality. This will impact not only the nutritional content but also the flavor of your shake.
4. For an antioxidant boost, sprinkle some cocoa powder or a handful of blueberries.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Serve the Banana and Oats Protein Shake immediately after blending to enjoy its fresh and creamy texture.
Pour your shake into a tall glass, garnish with a few slices of banana or a sprinkle of oats on top.
This shake pairs well with whole-grain toast or a small serving of nuts for a fuller meal.
