This quick and creamy smoothie is the perfect healthy breakfast to kickstart your day.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana (peeled and sliced)

• 1 cup milk (dairy or any plant-based alternative)

• 2 tablespoons oats (rolled or instant)

• 1 tablespoon peanut butter * 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

1. Prep the Base: Place your sliced ripe banana and oats into a blender.

2. Add Liquids & Nut Butter: Pour in the milk, then add the peanut butter and honey.

3. Blend: Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. If desired, top with a sprinkle of extra oats or a few banana slices, insert a straw, and enjoy immediately!

Pro-Tip: For a colder, thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana or toss a few ice cubes into the blender before mixing!
