Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4–5 ice cubes
- 1 frozen banana (broken into about 4 pieces)
- 2 medjool dates (pitted)
- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk of choice (I use almond milk)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt of choice)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- Optional add-ins: coffee, protein powder, collagen powder
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and make sure your banana is frozen and broken into pieces for easier blending.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the ice cubes, frozen banana pieces, pitted medjool dates, oats, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, milk, and Greek yogurt into the blender in the order listed. This sequence helps the blender work efficiently and blend smoothly.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds depending on your blender’s power.
- Optional Add-ins: If desired, add in coffee for a mocha twist, protein powder for extra protein, or collagen powder for joint support. Blend again briefly to combine.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best creamy texture and flavor.
Notes
- Chia seeds are optional but add a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy yogurt and your favorite plant-based milk.
- Add coffee for a caffeinated, mocha-like smoothie variation.
- Sweetness can be adjusted by adding more or fewer dates based on taste preference.
- Old fashioned oats add texture and help thicken the smoothie; quick oats can be used as a substitute if needed.
