Ingredients
Refer to this list of ingredients for any tips and recommendations. We love making foods with the best ingredients.
- Oat Milk- You can use any brand oat milk. Make sure to shake the bottle before using as it easily settles.
- Banana - Frozen bananas work best for this recipe. It adds to the thick texture of the smoothie.
- Ice cubes- Don't use too much ice. You don't want it diluting the flavors.
- Cinnamon
- Honey - A sugar free smoothie that sweetened by natural honey.
- Peanut butter - Smooth or chunky both works! I prefer the texture from chunky peanut butter.
- Vanilla Protein powder -This is optional! I use Orgain Protein Powder made from plants and oat milk.
See recipe card for quantities.
How To Make Oat Milk Smoothie
- Add ice and frozen bananas into a blender. Add the cinnamon and your favorite vanilla protein powder. We love using Orgain Protein Powder, especially this one made with oat milk!
2. Next pour in the peanut butter and honey. Pour in the oat milk!
5. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Pour into a cup and enjoy immediately.
Hint: Use frozen bananas instead of room temperature bananas for an enhanced texture.
Substitutions
- No Banana - make this without a banana by substituting the banana with half of an avocado. The banana gives the drink a particular texture that can be replicated with an avocado. You can use frozen avocado for a more smoothie like texture.
- Almond milk - use almond milk instead of oat milk at a 1:1 ratio
- Soy milk - looking to use soy milk substitute at a 1:1 ratio.
- Dairy milk - this recipe also tastes delicious with any percent of dairy milk, substitute at a 1:1 ratio.
- Caramel Syrup - use our delicious homemade Caramel Syrup instead of honey as a sweetener.
How To Serve
You can mix the flavors up by adding your favorite fruit. Add ⅓-1/2 cup of frozen fruit of your choice. Raspberry, blueberry, pineapple, mango, peach, or strawberry are some of the possible frozen fruit options.
You can also add a burst of chocolate by adding 1 teaspoon of coco powder. Add more if you want a stronger chocolate taste. Or use your favorite chocolate-flavored protein powder instead of vanilla.
My personal favorite addition is adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. I love the texture and taste that it adds.
Storing Oat Milk Smoothie
Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
This recipe is better is consumed as soon as it's made. The ingredients will separate and the texture will be different over time. If you store it in the refrigerator, be sure to stir the drink to undo any separation of ingredients. There will be a color discoloration.
Top tip
You can use room temperature bananas when making this creamy drink, but we prefer frozen bananas. The texture comes out perfect when using frozen bananas.

I saw Oat milk at trader joe's and was excited to find recipes to try it out! This one didn't disappoint. It reminded me of the tiktok I saw of Antoni’s Porowski, from Queer Eye, protein drink!!!
