What You’ll Need

Serves 2 | Ready in 5 Minutes | Dairy Free, High Protein, Vegan

Simple ingredients. Nothing fancy.

1 medium banana, sliced
5.2 oz. (150g) frozen strawberries
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1.7 oz. (50g) vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
12.1 fl. oz. (360ml) unsweetened almond milk

That’s it. Six ingredients. Breakfast handled.

How To Make It

Slice your banana.
Add everything into the blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour into two glasses.
Enjoy immediately.

If you want it thicker, reduce the milk slightly. If you want it thinner, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.

Flavor Tweaks and Easy Swaps

This is where you can have fun.

Make it chocolatey – Add 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder.

Boost the fiber – Throw in 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed.

Nut-free option – Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter.

Extra berry vibe – Add a handful of frozen blueberries.

Lower carb version – Use half a banana and add a few ice cubes for volume.

Some Smoothie Tips

Since I make smoothies constantly, here are a few tricks that never fail me:

Always use frozen strawberries for thickness
Blend oats first into a powder if your blender is not very strong
Add liquid first if your blender struggles
Taste before pouring, sometimes strawberries vary in sweetness

And yes, a good high-speed blender makes life easier, but this works fine in a standard one too.

Storage Tips

Smoothies are best fresh, but if needed:

Store in an airtight jar in the fridge up to 24 hours
Shake well before drinking
If it thickens too much, add a splash of almond milk and stir

You can also prep freezer smoothie packs. Just portion everything except the milk into freezer bags. When ready, dump into blender, add milk, and blend.
