🥤 The Ultimate Oatmeal Weight Loss Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Rolled Oats: (Old-fashioned oats work best for texture).

  • 1 Frozen Banana: Makes the smoothie thick and naturally sweet without added sugar.

  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk: Or any low-calorie milk of your choice.

  • 1 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter: (Or almond butter) for healthy fats and protein.

  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon: Helps regulate blood sugar and adds warmth.

  • 1 scoop Protein Powder (Optional): Vanilla or unflavored works best to boost satiety.

  • A splash of Water or Ice: To reach your desired consistency.

Instructions

  1. Pulse the Oats: If you prefer a very smooth drink, add the dry oats to the blender first and pulse until they become a fine flour.

  2. Combine: Add the frozen banana, milk, nut butter, cinnamon, and protein powder (if using).

  3. Blend: Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until perfectly creamy.

  4. Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk or water. If you want it colder, add a handful of ice and blend again.

  5. Garnish: Pour into a glass and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few dry oats, just like in your photo!

Why This Works for Weight Loss

  • High Fiber: Oats contain beta-glucan, a fiber that slows digestion and keeps you feeling full.

  • No Refined Sugar: The sweetness comes entirely from the fruit.

  • Healthy Fats: The nut butter provides satiety, so you aren’t hungry 30 minutes later.

Pro Tip: To make this even lower in calories, you can swap the nut butter for 1 tablespoon of PB2 (powdered peanut butter), which has about 70% less fat but all the flavor.
