Print Recipe

A quick and easy protein-packed smoothie combining chocolate, peanut butter, oats, and Greek yogurt for a creamy, satisfying breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (20g) rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp (32g) natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (125g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 scoop (~30g) vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Add 1/4 cup rolled oats to a small bowl and pour 1/2 cup (120ml) milk over them. Let soak for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. Into your blender jar, add the soaked oats with milk, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 medium ripe banana (peeled), and 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder if using, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Toss in 4-5 ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie.
  5. Blend on high speed for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is creamy and no chunks remain. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to blend evenly.
  6. If too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly. Taste for sweetness and adjust with a little more honey if desired.
  7. Pour and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Soak oats before blending to avoid gritty texture. Use frozen banana for a thicker smoothie. Adjust sweetness based on banana ripeness. Scrape blender sides for even mixing. Prep oats soaking step the night before to save time. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk.
