Peanut Butter-Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Despite my never-ending stream of breakfast foods here on The Kitchen Paper, I've lately been feeling a bit lazy about cooking it for myself. At least before noon. If Derek makes eggs, I'm set. But if not... I sometimes find myself eating a cookie or a slice of cheese. Or something equally as non-breakfasty. Enter: THE SMOOTHIE.

I've been wanting to make this smoothie since June of last year. We were in Cleveland for my cousin's (awesome!) wedding, and happened upon a smoothie bar one night... Of course, Derek ordered a peanut-butter-oatmeal-something-or-other smoothie. I don't actually remember what all was in it. Probably chocolate. Maybe banana? Anyways, it was the oatmeal that blew me away! Oatmeal? In a smoothie? No way.

YES WAY. It was hearty, had some serious umph to it, and definitely did not leave anyone hungry. So finally, I made it. I opted for a slightly healthier version, although still full of goodies and totally delicious. I considered adding chocolate chips, but decided against it. You go for it, if you want! Also: honey. If you love a sweet smoothie, add a bit of honey! I think it'd be really tasty.

See those beautiful squiggly arrows? Yeah, I drew those. TALENT. [NOT]. I was feeling youthful and reminiscent of my Paint days. You know you had them. Everyone did.

    Yum, it has all the right ingredients in it. But I'm still looking for a good blender. Now I use my Magimix food processor but sometimes the fluid seeps over the edges.

    Enjoy your smoothie!!

    Mmmmmm WANT!! Can't wait to get home to my blender. Oats are just plain awesome, such a great idea to put them in a smoothie 🙂 FYI don't put them in a protein shake - so not cool!!x x x

      Why not put oats in a protein shake? There are a lot of protein shakes that have oats in them. I drink them several times a week, as I also lift 5-6 days a week. So please enlighten us as to why not.

    I love breakfast smoothies, usually opting for a green smoothie. I've heard of oatmeal in smoothies before, but never had the guts to try it. This recipe looks great though, so I'll have to give it a go!

      Anything you like in the blender, then a handful of oats, can't go wrong, keeps me good when I cycle to work and then some after that. Oats amazing!

      ha! Surprisingly, no! Although I definitely do that, and was planning on it, I was pouring more from the blender into the glass while shooting through my camera, and my depth perception failed me. It worked out ok though!

    I have just started with breakfast smoothies--green with protein. Anyways, this morning I was bored and threw oatmeal in with my spinach and vanilla whey protein and it was AWESOME and THICK. Can't taste the spinach now 🙂

    Totally have used oatmeal in smoothies lots of times, I also use cold cereal like Cheerios or something to that affect I put the dry in 1st to get it well blended. I started doing this because my daughter is that child that will only eat when she feels like it. There are days that she won't eat anything, so I started making smoothies with cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, and fruits, to get her some type of nutrion during those days. She loves them and sucks them down. Plus they are great in the summer months, my kids (4) will sometimes only want a smoothly while they are outside playing instead of sitting down and eating, and its fine for me cause its easy fast and less dishes.

    Looks delicious. This would be a nice treat on the weekend... I love anything with peanut butter. Anything! Ever since I've tried to cut out sugar, my sweet treat is natural peanut butter-- even though it doesn't have added sugar, it satisfies my sweet tooth.

    I didn't have any yogurt and I am lactose intolerant so I used almond milk and it was great even without the yogurt, for some extra sweetness I added a small apple. Followed the recipe other than that and it made a delicious smoothie!

    Super yummy!

    I was curious and analyzed the calories, though - and it tips 750 calories per smoothie!! Next time I'll use less PB (1/4cup PB alone = 400 cal).

      Haha yes - it definitely isn't a "low cal" smoothie! Glad you liked it, though!

      I haven't calculated for this recipe. If you do it, please let me know what it is! I suspect it's quite high!

        It's around 854 calories and that's NOT including the ingredients that are optional. If you sub the vanilla yogurt with Greek vanilla yogurt and the milk with almond milk its 821 calories minus the optional ingredients. I NEVER add the honey and I only add about 12 chocolate chips. It is still a high calorie count but it is so dang delicious! I didn't realize it was that many calories, maybe I should cut back on how many times a week I have this----but I don't want to 🙁

          So I wanted to make it less calories so I subbed the Peanut Butter for PB2 powder (found next to the peanut butter in some grocery stores. I found mine at Walmart). I had never tried PB2 before, but I have heard it is best to put in smoothies and shakes. It tastes so identical BUT it saves you a ton of calories. It brought the calorie count down from 854 calories to 511 calories if you use greek yogurt, almond milk and PB2. I thought that might be useful if anyone is interested in making it healthier with less calories. Trust me though I've been eating this for lunch for the past month and even with these substitutions you would never even know the difference between the original recipe and the substitutions 🙂

    That was amazing! That touch of cinnamon and honey blended really fired up the sweetness and mostly, I love any combo with peanut butter. I substituted the milk for another half cup of granadilla yoghurt which really went well together. It was a bit lacking as it only filled 3/4 of my glass at the end, but now I know to add milk. I ĺove smoothies. This one was definitely worth my time 🙂

    So I know I'm very late to the party but I was wondering whether you use rolled oats or a different type? Can't wait to try this!

      Hi Suzette! I honestly use whatever kind of oats (although not steel-cut) I have on had. Instant, rolled, thick-cut — whatever I have around! Enjoy! xo

    If using a fresh banana do you need to add ice?

      I would NOT add ice! But, using fresh banana would definitely change it... I'd go for frozen banana if at all possible!
