If you need a super quick, nourishing breakfast you can make in minutes, this Banana & Oat Breakfast Smoothie will be your new go-to! I love this recipe because it’s simple, filling, naturally sweet, and uses everyday plant-based ingredients you probably already have at home.

This smoothie is perfect for busy mornings, work-from-home days, or anytime you want something creamy and satisfying without spending much time in the kitchen.

🍌 Banana & Oat Breakfast Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium–large ripe banana

• 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, rice — your choice)

• ¼ cup instant oats (or rolled oats)

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp peanut butter

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a small blender cup.
   I used my Tribest Personal Blender, which is great for single-serve smoothies, dressings, and small-batch recipes.

2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!

It’s a great way to start your day when you’re rushing out the door or just want something quick, nourishing, and delicious.

Tips & Variations

• Add greens: A handful of baby spinach blends right in.

• Boost protein: Add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.

• Make it thicker: Add a few ice cubes or use a frozen banana.

• Make it dessert-y: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg.
