About this recipe

A thick, creamy, and satisfying protein smoothie packed with frozen fruit, nut butter, oats, and flaxseed for a nutrient-dense breakfast or post-workout drink. Ready in minutes with no cooking required.

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the unsweetened vanilla almond milk to the blender first — this helps the blades move freely and prevents the smoothie from getting stuck.

2. 2

   Add the rolled oats and ground flaxseed. Blend on high for about 20–30 seconds to break them down before adding the remaining ingredients. This ensures a smooth, grit-free texture.

3. 3

   Add the frozen banana, frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, almond butter, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more unsweetened vanilla almond milk and blend again.

4. 4

   Taste and add maple syrup / honey if you'd like a touch more sweetness. Blend briefly to combine, then pour into two glasses and serve immediately.
