A creamy, delicious protein shake combining banana, oats, peanut butter, and cocoa powder for a quick, healthy energy boost that tastes like dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana (about 100–120 grams / 3.5–4.2 oz)
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (25 grams / 0.9 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened peanut butter (32 grams / 1.1 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (10 grams / 0.35 oz)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (about 30 grams / 1 oz), vanilla or chocolate flavored
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240 ml / 8 fl oz), e.g., unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, 5 ml / 0.17 fl oz)
  • 3–4 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel one ripe banana and measure 1/4 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats and 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter.
  2. Add oats, cocoa powder, and protein powder to the blender.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of milk of choice.
  4. Add the banana and peanut butter. Drizzle honey or maple syrup if desired.
  5. Add 3-4 ice cubes for a chilled, thick texture.
  6. Blend on high for about 45 seconds or until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, oats, or ice cubes as needed.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency if necessary.
  8. Serve immediately in a tall glass or shaker bottle.

Notes

Use ripe spotty bananas for natural sweetness and smooth texture. Soak oats for 10 minutes if using a low-speed blender. Adjust liquid quantity to achieve desired thickness. Natural peanut butter may separate; stir well before measuring. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free milk. Shake can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge; stir before drinking.
