½ cup old fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats to keep this recipe gluten free)
1 ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or other milk of your choice
1 frozen banana
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter or almond butter (can substitute peanut butter powder like PBfit)
2 teaspoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 scoop vanilla (or chocolate) protein powder (optional but highly recommended)

Nutritional data includes vanilla protein powder.

Frozen bananas keep the smoothie cold and creamy and keep it cold so you don't have to add ice cubes, which can water it down. If you don't have a frozen banana, you can add a few ice cubes.
I like to blend the raw oats in the blender first to pulverize them and then add the rest of the ingredients so that there are no big pieces in the smoothie. If you have a good high-speed blender, you can skip this step and just toss everything in together.
You can throw a handful of greens like baby spinach into the smoothie for even more nutrients. It will change the color but won't affect the taste much.
You can use peanut butter powder instead of peanut butter if you're on a restricted-calorie diet. Peanut butter powder has less calories and fat than regular peanut butter.
You can use vanilla or chocolate protein powder in this smoothie. You can also use Greek yogurt for a boost of protein if you don't have protein powder.
