Ingredients

1 banana (use frozen if you want a thicker smoothie)
½ cup frozen raspberries
1 cup oat milk (or any plant-based milk of choice)
½ cup plain, unsweetened plant-based yogurt
2 tbsp natural peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
2 tbsp cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder
1-2 scoops vanilla or chocolate vegan protein powder (optional)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp agave or pure maple syrup
5-8 ice cubes

Instructions

Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine 1 banana, ½ cup frozen raspberries, 1 cup oat milk, ½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons cacao, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon agave, and 5-8 ice cubes. If using, add 1-2 scoops vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
Tip: This smoothie works great with either fresh or frozen banana. If you want it extra cold and thick but don’t have time to fully freeze your banana, pop a peeled one in the freezer for 20–30 minutes for a quick chill.
Adjust Consistency: Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of additional oat milk to reach your desired consistency.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! For garnish, sprinkle some cacao nibs or raspberries on top.

Notes

Customize Sweetness

Adjust the amount of agave (or honey/maple syrup) based on your preferred level of sweetness. This is not the sweetest of smoothies so add more or throw in some pineapple for a touch more sweetness.

Protein Boost

The optional protein powder and chia seeds add protein and fiber, but both can be skipped if desired.

Consistency Tips

If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of oat milk. For a thicker texture, reduce the liquid or add more frozen fruit.

Substitutions

Swap cacao with unsweetened cocoa powder if needed, and use almond or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.
