Equipment
Ingredients
- 500 ml Organic Oat Milk
- 25 grams Organic Oats
- 10 grams Protein Powder
- 1 Mature Banana
- 1 Cup Raw Spinach
Instructions
- To aid digestion, I soaked the oats in milk overnight in the fridge. Now that the oats are ready, I have all the necessary ingredients prepped and ready to blend into a delicious smoothie.
- To make the smoothie, start by adding the oats and oat milk to the blender. Next, peel and add the banana, followed by the protein powder and raw spinach.
- Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, and enjoy your nutritious and delicious Protein Power Banana Smoothie!
Notes & Suggestions
The smoothie takes just 5 minutes to prepare and blend. I added 4 hours of custom time to allow for pre-soaking the oats. I prefer to let them soak for at least 4 hours, but you can also leave them soaking overnight in the fridge. You can fill three average-sized glasses with the smoothie, but the nutritional value is calculated for one serving (one glass) only.
Top Tips
Why not prepare all the ingredients the night before and store them in separate containers in the fridge? In the morning, simply add the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. This will save you time and make your morning routine easier, especially if you're always rushing before your workout. Plus, storing the ingredients separately will help preserve their freshness and flavor.
The protein-powered banana smoothie can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four days. If you decide you would like to freeze the smoothie, you can freeze the smoothie for up to 3 months. However, it's important to note that the texture and flavor may change slightly after freezing and thawing.
When you're ready to enjoy the smoothie, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight or for several hours at room temperature. You may also need to give it a good shake or stir before consuming it, as some separation may occur during freezing.
