Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Smoothie

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. Just dump everything in the blender* and soon I have a tasty treat that keeps me full for a few hours.

This chocolate peanut butter oat smoothie has been one of my favorite go-to breakfast recipes, and now I’m excited to share it with you.

Absolutely No Bananas

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 chocolate peanut butter oat smoothie recipe has evolved a 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.
