Ripe bananas and natural peanut butter create a salty-sweet flavor combo in this protein-packed Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie. It’s perfect for breakfast or any time of the day.
Hi. My name is Liz and I’m a peanut butter-aholic. Specifically, I am addicted to Koeze natural peanut butter roasted locally here in Grand Rapids. It’s a problem, friends. I can’t get enough of this peanut butter made with two simple ingredients: roasted peanuts and sea salt.
Aside from maybe chocolate, few foods taste better with freshly-roasted, salty peanut butter than a perfectly ripe banana. 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.
This smoothie comes together in just minutes similar to the Overnight Refrigerator Oats and Avocado Toasts for busy weekday mornings.
Thanks to the protein and vitamin-packed dairy ingredients, all three of these breakfast ideas will give your family long-lasting energy throughout the morning and avoid a mid-morning sugar crash.

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.
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!
Dorothy Pearlman
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.
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!

Delicious ????. The only change I did was add ( so delicious Dairy free alternative coconut yogurt )
I will definitely be making this smoothie again.
Thank you!
Liz DellaCroce
Oh great idea!
Allison Dotson
Can you make this with a non fat yogurt that isn’t Greek Yogurt? That’s all I have on hand
Liz DellaCroce
Yes absolutely!!

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

I just made a smoothie with a half a cup of oats a half of a banana a half a cup of 1% milk a tablespoon of peanut butter a half a teaspoon of cinnamon and a 3/4 cup of ice is that that fattening? What are the calorie intake.

This might be a stupid question, but when the recipe says scoops of ice, is that ice cream or ice?
Liz DellaCroce
Ice ;)
Carrie
Really yummy, exactly what I was craving. I used frozen banana, so less ice, and a bit more cinnamon and ate two servings:)
Liz DellaCroce
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Carrie!! Now I’m craving it too!

Add almonds and less ice, oats, and peanut butter makes the smoothie 100 times better!!

Liz DellaCroce
Glad you found a way to make it your own!

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!
Liz DellaCroce
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it!!!
Elsa
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!
Liz DellaCroce
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it!
