A quick and creamy smoothie combining instant oats, peanut butter, banana, protein powder, and cold brew coffee for a nutritious and energizing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup instant oats (about 20g)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural, creamy or chunky)
  • 1/2 cup cold brew coffee (120ml)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (about 30g, vanilla or unflavored, plant-based preferred)
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (120ml, almond, cow’s, or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 34 ice cubes
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by peeling the banana and gathering peanut butter, protein powder, oats, cold brew coffee, milk, and optional ingredients like honey or maple syrup.
  2. Add instant oats, banana, peanut butter, protein powder, and cold brew coffee into the blender. Pour in the milk and add ice cubes. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired.
  3. Start blending at low speed, then increase to high. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired, then blend again for 10 seconds.
  5. Serve immediately in a tall glass or travel cup. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top.

Notes

If you don’t have a high-powered blender, soak the instant oats in milk for 5 minutes before blending to avoid gritty texture. Avoid over-blending to prevent a thin, frothy smoothie. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or ice cubes as needed. Use ripe or frozen banana for best creaminess and sweetness. For vegan, use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk. Store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 24 hours; stir before drinking.
