Peanut butter banana oatmeal smoothie.

Aside from maybe chocolate, few foods taste better with freshly-roasted, salty peanut butter than a perfectly ripe banana. And aside from maybe pancakes, the best breakfast consists of smoothies. My Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie combines the best of both worlds and is morphed into a well-rounded breakfast thanks to yogurt, milk, and oats.

Why You’ll Love this Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

  • You can whip it up in under 5 minutes!
  • Easily customizable to match you and your families dietary needs.
  • A delicious and filling breakfast that will keep you feeling full all morning long!

Ingredients

  • Banana: Naturally sweetens the smoothie and adds a creamy texture.
  • Milk: Use whatever milk you have on hand, any and all will work.
  • Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is higher in protein than typical yogurt, and adds to the creamy texture of the smooothie.
  • Oats: I use old-fashioned oats, and they make the smoothie more filling while being a great source of fiber, calcium, and iron.
  • Peanut butter: A huge source of protein, while also being creamy, delicious, and nutty.
  • Cinnamon: Sweet and woody in flavor, cinnamon is a great way to get many antioxidants.

Easy Substitutions

  • Make it dairy free. Use almond or oat milk and swap the yogurt out for a dairy free substitute.
  • Up the protein. Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to really pack in the protein punch on this smoothie.
  • Don’t like banana? You can use applesauce or increase the yogurt if you don’t like bananas.

How to Make a Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

Step 1. Start by adding your banana to your blender.

Step 2. Then add in the milk.

Step 3. Next add the Greek yogurt.

Step 4. Then add your old fashioned oats.

Step 6. Finish with the peanut butter and cinnamon.

Step 7. Add ice and blend until smooth, adding more ice or water until you reach your desired consistency.

    The quantity of cinnamon in this smoothie is way too much – it overpowers the other flavours. Would be nicer without, or a fraction of the quantity.

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar
      Liz DellaCroce

      Did you use the full amount of everything else including 2 bananas, milk, oats and yogurt? I think it’s perfect as is but you can always make it your own!

    I noticed you don’t have the sugar content in the nutritional list. Also noticed it on another recipe. I’m diabetic and have to watch my sugar intake. Thanks.

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar
      Liz DellaCroce

      Hi Dorothy – Just revised to include the sugar. I’ve been doing this for 10 years and some of my older recipes used a different program taht didn’t add the sugar in but we are working to add in on the 1500+ recipes. If there are any others you need just let me know! Sorry about that!

    If you wanna get crazy…use chocolate milk. Fairlife is really tasty and has extra protein and relatively low sugar for its taste.

    Made this with my homestay sister today, we both loved it. Instead of normal milk, we used half normal and half coconut milk and it was super creamy and delicious! Took me 40 minutes to finish the whole glass and I feel super full- I won’t be needing any midnight snacks or anything. Thanks for this awesome recipe!

    This smoothie was SO good! I didn’t really follow the measurements and got a bit of a thick paste which I still ate of course but with a spoon. I used yogurt and no ice and found it more dense yet really good. Also blending with it nuts or crunchy peanut butter was a big YES. Thank you, its the perfect on the go breakfast, super filling!

    I tried this smoothie this morning and it was great! I do have a question about the nutritional data. I’m on a special low calorie diet and when I calculated the calorie count I got 560, per serving. The only change I made was using non-fat Greek yogurt. Just curious how you calculated 294. I’m hoping I goofed somewhere because 560 is half my daily calories!

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar
      Liz DellaCroce

      Hi Amanda –
      Oh my goodness, this recipe should have been marked as 4 servings, not two! Please accept my apologies. As a calorie counter myself, I know how important it is to have accurate nutritional information. I do hope you forgive me. Also, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the smoothie!!

      Hi Amanda,
      Be careful with the special low calorie diets. I bought a fitbit and used that as per the guidelines, I was able to eat any food while keeping under the calorie count for the day. I was also able to eat over 2000 calories on the fitbit diet if I chose to perform more exercising. It is the first diet I went on in my life. I lost the weight in 2013 and kept the weight off because I did not have to change any of the foods I ate.
      If I was required to only eat 1000 calories, I would have had a very difficult time.

    This recipe sounds excellent, and especially like something my husband would enjoy. We would add protein powder to it to bring up the protein levels to what we need. Looking forward to making this.

    Loved all three Recipes! I think my favorite was the cottage cheese and Avocado one, I had never thought of that combo before… Really yummy. I also love the smoothie I am trying to cut calories a bit more so I would substitute the all natural PB which I Love but can be high in calories with the product PB2 since it gives the same flavor in a smoothie and still adds protein but a few calories less…as always thanks for your great Recipes and tips I love your blog!
