What is Oatmeal Smoothie?
Oatmeal Smoothie is a rich and creamy drink loaded with flavors of peanut butter, banana, cinnamon, and vanilla. Especially the oatmeal used in this smoothie makes it filling and satisfying and the richness from the silky smooth peanut butter makes it irresistibly good.
Also, it makes a perfect drink when you are looking for some decadent weight loss drinks. But I would suggest adding low-fat milk or vegan-friendly milk like oat milk, and almond milk instead of full-fat milk.
You might also consider skipping the sugar or other sweetener when you are really on a serious weight loss diet. Overall this Oatmeal Smoothie is one of the best drinks to spruce up your morning breakfast or a quick snack to fill your hunger pangs.
Ingredients
The ingredients you will need to make this Oatmeal Smoothie are basic elements that you might already have in your pantry. So let's see what are they below.
- Oatmeal - A good source of fiber and makes your smoothie satisfying and filling especially when you are in weight loss management. Here I have used quick oats but feel free to use rolled oats or other kinds of oats that's work well for this recipe. But I would suggest powdering the oats first before adding in the other ingredients. You could also soak the oats in milk or water for 30 minutes instead of powdering
- Banana - Frozen banana makes the thick smoothie but feel free to use fresh banana and make sure to add a lot of ice cubes to achieve that texture
- Peanut Butter - Healthy fat that is filled with protein and delivers a creamy and filling smoothie
- Vanilla Essence - Enhance the flavor of the smoothie
- Cinnamon Powder - Gives a slight tough of warm and sweet notes
- Salt - Adding a small amount of salt improves the overall flavor of the smoothie
- Milk and Yogurt - I have used full-fat milk and yogurt here but feel free to use non-dairy milk like oat milk, almond milk, or other kinds of milk for a vegan-friendly version
