TIPS
- Use Frozen Bananas: Use frozen bananas for an extra thick and ice cream-like texture.
- For Thin Smoothie: Add almond milk gradually to prevent the smoothie from becoming too thin.
- For Smoother Blending: Pre-soak the oats for smoother blending and enhanced digestibility.
- Before Freezing: If your blender isn’t powerful, slice the banana into thin rounds before freezing.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Version: Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- Higher Protein: Add a tablespoon of plain Greek yoghurt or hemp seeds for added protein.
- Extra Fibre: Blend in a teaspoon of flaxseed or chia seeds.
- Vegan-Friendly: Ensure the protein powder is plant-based and skip yoghurt-based toppings.
- Dessert Style: Add a pinch of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for a dessert-like flavour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Prepping: Pre-portion banana, protein powder, peanut butter and oats into containers or zip-seal bags for quick blending in the morning.
- Storage: This smoothie bowl is best served immediately for the creamiest texture. If storing, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Freezing: You can freeze the blended base in a sealed container and defrost it overnight, but the texture may soften. Stir well before serving.
