Peanut Butter Smoothie
This is my kind of Smoothie! I love Peanut Butter so when I saw this healthy recipe I had to try it. I made mine super thick by adapting the recipe a bit. It was like drinking a delicious milkshake.
The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the grittiness of the blended oats. It tasted great but it was just a texture thing for me. The oats are very healthy and I love oats, just not in a smoothie. This is a personal preference and next time I will leave it out.

Ingredients
- 1 cup low fat Greek yogurt (I used plain)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup oats (optional smoothie will have a gritty texture)
- 1 cup ice (I smashed my cubes slightly with a mallet then measured)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp honey
Directions
- In a blender combine all of the ingredinets.
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately.

How many servings was this? The calorie count seems very high for a single serving. The peanut butter alone would be 800 calories. If the oats were cooked, or even just soaked in water for a while, first, that might provide the thickening and nutrition without the grittiness.
I’ve been having good luck with adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to a half cup of my new-found love, unsweetened tapioca pudding, and stirring it around good, and then sprinkling on cinnamon or pumpkin/apple pie spice. Using a small spoon, and nibbling at it slowly, calms down those hunger pangs for me.
Virtual hugs,

This was about 3 servings. I like the idea of soaking the oats first. I was thinking they should be cooked but soaking would do the trick! You can definitely cut back on the peanut butter. I am a peanut butter junkie!

This looks yummy. I would probably leave the oats out as well.

Oh yeah! Peanut butter ice cream. Hmmm… I think we talked about this before. 🙂 For a while I was on a kick to have a Royal Reeses Brownie Blizzard every day. Or maybe the Summer Cheesecake Berry Blizzard. GEEZ! I went off into la la land for a minute. What was this post about? Of yeah, the peanut butter smoothie. Not sure the oats would turn me on either. Maybe a banana with peanut butter. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.:)

Oh, I bet this is good indeed. And you’re probably right about the oats, they break down better when heating them up. I bought a smoothie at a fast food place, it was awful. Anyhow, I may try this recipe later on. Thank you.

I had suggestions of soaking the oatmeal in water before blending. I think that will be better than leaving it out. I loved it! Thank you Erica.

It was so good Linda. A fellow blogger suggested soaking the oats in water to alleviate the grittiness. I will do that nest time.

Good idea Diane – I make my oatmeal every morning, (the Old-Fashioned Quaker Oatmeal) in a mug and just run very hot water in it and let it sit a minute or two. I gave away my microwave years ago – no room in the kitchen as there is not enough countertop space and the microwave was downstairs … found a huge spider walking on top of it one day and I worried after that …. very scared of spiders. Anyway, fellow blogger AJ mentioned mixing creamy natural peanut butter in the hot oatmeal and I’ve been doing that – yummy! Easy-breezy for me who does not spend much time on food prep as it is (as you know). 🙂
