I live on smoothies.

Seriously I drink at least one smoothie every. single. day. Usually two. Because as a busy mom of 4, after the kids are fed the last thing I want to do is spend lots of time making food for myself. So, when my culinary creativity and energy is spent, I turn to the fastest, easiest healthiest option I can think of – a smoothie. This particular variety, a Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie is literally an entire meal in a glass!

It’s loaded with protein, fiber, fruit and greens and is bursting with chocolate peanut butter flavor!  Plus, it’s vegan and gluten free and doesn’t use any fancy protein powders!

One glass of this peanut butter oatmeal smoothie recipe delivers all the nutrients us busy mommas need to keep up with our crazy kids, AND it tastes like dessert! A total win!

How to make a Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie smoothie

This peanut butter oatmeal smoothie is easy to make!  Just add all the ingredients to the container of a Vitamix blender (or another high-powered blender), blend and enjoy! Here are a few tips to create the perfect smoothie every time!

  1. Use Frozen ingredients. If you like super cold, creamy, thick smoothies then I suggest storing your greens and bananas in the freezer!  Using frozen fruits and vegetables results in an ultra-creamy consistency without adding ice, which can water down the flavor.
  2. Use a VitamixNo one wants to have to chew their smoothie! Using a high-powered blender is absolutely crucial if you plan on drinking smoothies as a regular part of your healthy lifestyle! I use my Vitamix multiple times every day, and couldn’t live without it in my kitchen! Check out my Vitamix Buying Guide to determine which model is right for YOU!
  3. Drink immediately. This chocolate peanut butter oatmeal smoothie is best enjoyed right away!

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie : Substitutions

  • Almond milk: any nondairy milk works great! You can also use regular milk if you don’t need to avoid dairy.
  • Peanut butter: I recommend only all natural varieties with no added sugar.
  • Oatmeal: old-fashioned, rolled or quick cooking oats all work well here!
  • Kale/spinach: you can change the ratios just make sure the total amount stays the same (4 cups) I always use frozen greens!
