Notes

• For a thicker texture, use a frozen banana.

• For a nut-free version, replace nut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.

Why this shake just works

• It tastes like food, not supplements
  This is the big one. You’re tasting banana, nuts, oats. Not “artificial birthday cake.”
• It’s filling without feeling heavy
  You drink it and think, “Yeah, I’m good for a while.” No stomach brick feeling.
• You already have the ingredients
  No special shopping trip. No online orders. Pantry and freezer stuff.
• It fits real life
  Breakfast. Post-workout. Lazy lunch. I’ve had it at all three. Zero regrets.

Ingredients (simple, I promise)

Here’s what makes this shake creamy and protein-friendly, without any powder drama.

Banana
This is the base. It makes everything smooth and a little sweet. Frozen banana? Even better. Thicker. Colder. More milkshake vibes.

Nut butter (peanut or almond)
This adds richness. And flavor. And yes, protein. I go heavy-handed sometimes. No shame.

Rolled oats
They sound boring. They’re not. Oats make the shake filling and give it body. No watery sadness here.

Seeds (chia or hemp)
Tiny but mighty. You don’t really taste them, but they help thicken things up and add plant protein.

Plant milk
Soy milk if you want extra creaminess. Oat milk if you like it slightly sweet. Almond milk if that’s what’s in the fridge.

That’s it. Seriously.

How I make it (step-by-step)

Don’t overthink this. But order matters.

1. Pour the plant milk first
   This keeps everything moving. No blender tantrums.
2. Add banana chunks
   Frozen ones go straight in. Fresh is fine too.
3. Drop in the oats and seeds
   Sprinkle them. Don’t dump in one sad clump.
4. Spoon in the nut butter
   My trick? Let it sit on top for a second before blending.
5. Blend. Pause. Blend again.
   Start slow. Then go fast. You want it smooth. Like, really smooth.

If it looks creamy and pours slowly? You nailed it.

Tips for better texture (learned the hard way)

• Too thick? Add a splash of milk. Just a splash.
• Too thin? More oats or nut butter. Easy fix.
• Gritty texture? Blend longer. Most people stop too early.
• Warm shake? Always use frozen banana. Always.

Honestly, texture is everything with this kind of shake.

Variations I actually use

Because drinking the same thing every day gets boring.

• Chocolate mood
  Add cocoa powder. Suddenly it feels like dessert.
• Nut-free version
  Use sunflower seed butter or tahini. Sounds odd. Works great.
• Lower-carb vibe
  Less oats, more seeds. Still creamy.
• Extra sweet
  One date or a tiny drizzle of maple syrup. Don’t overdo it.

Play around. That’s half the fun.
