Author Notes

I’m particularly fond of adding oats to smoothies, perhaps because they’re such a beloved mainstay in my breakfasts anyway, or because I’m pretty convinced that the soluble fiber in them helps to keep me very full indeed, or because they contribute a lovely thickness to smoothie blends without making them overly heavy (which is what can happen when you go a little too far with the nut butters or flax meal).

This smoothie features a few of my favorite smoothie enhancers, including some chia, some peanut butter, and some rolled oats. Combined with fruit and almond milk, this is a simple blend, but it’s one that tastes amazing and is almost guaranteed to help keep you satisfied. —Gena Hamshaw

What You'll Need

Ingredients

1 peeled, ripe banana
1 ¹/₂ cups frozen berries of your choice
¹/₂ cup rolled oats
1 ¹/₂ cups Planet Oat Oatmilk
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon peanut or almond butter
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Place all ingredients in a powerful blender and blend till smooth. I prefer a very thick smoothie, but if the texture is too thick for your liking, add extra non-dairy milk and continue pulsing the mixture in the blender until it has reached a desired consistency.

This is a very tasty smoothie, however, it’s very thick. My blueberries and banana were frozen when I made it, which of course contributed to the texture. You might consider using 2 cups of oat milk instead of one and a half. This is enough to feed 2 to 3 people.

I make a similar one, except I add 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt, a little vanilla and 1 tsp honey . I will have to try the oats. Mine tastes like sorbet and if you freeze it, it's a great desert. I use Almond milk and frozen berries, banana and sometimes a mango. I am addicted to smoothies! LOL
