Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 2 cups of dried milk and place it into a blender or mixing bowl.
- Add 1 scoop (about 30g) of your favorite whey protein powder.
- Measure 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (around 16g) and add it to the blender.
- Incorporate 3 tablespoons (16g) of oats into the mixture for added fiber and texture.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- If you're using a blender, start by pulsing the dried milk, whey protein powder, and oats until they are well combined. This helps ensure an even mixture.
- Add the peanut butter and banana chunks to the blender.
- Depending on your preference for thickness, add approximately 1-2 cups of water or milk (dairy or non-dairy depending on your preference).
- Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until smooth. This could take about 1-2 minutes. Ensure that there are no chunks of banana or peanut butter left, and that the mixture is creamy.
- Taste your protein blast before serving. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a little bit of honey or a natural sweetener.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more liquid and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the protein blast into a large glass or a shaker bottle.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of oats or a few banana slices on top.
- Consume immediately after your workout to help refuel and recover. This smoothie can also be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
Tips:
- Use a high-speed blender to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and smooth.
- For a colder, more refreshing shake, use a frozen banana or add a handful of ice cubes before blending.
- Adjust the thickness of the shake by adding more or less milk according to your preference.
- For extra flavor and nutritional benefits, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- If you're lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option, substitute dried milk with almond milk powder or any other plant-based milk powder.
