🍌 Creamy Banana & Oat Breakfast Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

Ingredients

½ cup Rolled oats (old-fashioned)

1 Ripe banana (frozen chunks work best for a creamy texture)

1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

½ cup Plain Greek yogurt (adds protein to keep you full longer)

1 tbsp Chia seeds or ground flaxseeds (for healthy Omega-3s)

½ tsp Cinnamon (helps regulate blood sugar)

A splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

Pulse the Oats: For a smoother texture, add the dry oats to your blender first and pulse until they reach a flour-like consistency.

Combine: Add the banana, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla to the blender.

Blend: Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.

Adjust: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk. If you prefer it colder, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.

Serve: Pour into a glass and top with a few extra oat flakes or a dash of cinnamon for garnish.

💡 Why this works for weight management

High Fiber: The oats and chia seeds provide soluble fiber, which slows digestion and keeps you feeling satisfied for hours.

Protein Boost: Using Greek yogurt ensures you get enough protein to maintain muscle mass while losing weight.

No Added Sugar: The natural sweetness of the banana eliminates the need for honey or syrups.
