Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 0.5 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 large frozen banana, sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-natural peanut butter
  • 0.25 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Pour the unsweetened almond milk into the blender canister first. Note: Adding liquid first prevents the solid ingredients from getting stuck in the blades.
  2. Add the plain unsweetened Greek yogurt and pure vanilla extract.
  3. Layer in the old fashioned rolled oats and sea salt. This ensures the oats are submerged and ready to be pulverized.
  4. Drop in the all natural peanut butter. Try to place it in the center of the liquid rather than letting it stick to the sides of the jar.
  5. Add the frozen banana slices on top of the other ingredients. The weight of the frozen fruit helps push the other components down into the blade assembly.
  6. Secure the lid and start the blender on the lowest speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for 30 seconds until the sound of the motor becomes a smooth, consistent hum.
  7. Stop the blender and check the thickness. If it's too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add two extra ice cubes and blend again.
  8. Blend on high for an additional 15 seconds until the mixture looks glossy and pale. This introduces a tiny amount of air, making the shake feel lighter on the tongue.
