These days, I’m trying hard to slim down and be healthy. It isn’t easy, though, when I have a sweet tooth and like to bake bread on a regular basis.
Recently in my weight loss journey, I’ve discovered that smoothies are a great way to get more fiber and protein in my diet. Just dump everything in the blender and soon I have a tasty treat that keeps me full for a few hours.
But I have a problem with most smoothie recipes: I don’t like bananas.
I can’t stand the flavor. The texture. The smell. Seriously, get those bananas out of here.
Unfortunately, most smoothie recipes use bananas as a base to give them a creamy texture and a hint of sweetness. Rather than force myself to chug something down that I don’t like, I’ve made a chocolate peanut butter oat smoothie that I absolutely love to drink.

The oatmeal gives the smoothie more body and fiber, and the peanut butter gives some muchly needed flavor and protein. And of course, a little bit of cocoa powder makes me feel a bit naughty without actually hurting my overall calorie count.
My smoothie recipe has evolved a little bit to accommodate what I have in my fridge and in my pantry, so I’ve provided my three main variations. Feel free to tweak them to suit your personal tastes and preferences.
