Frozen banana blended with peanut butter, oat milk, chia and vanilla into a thick, milkshake-like smoothie that drinks like a meal.

Ingredients

For 2 servings

• 2 banana, ripe, peeled, cut into chunks and frozen
• 4 tbsp peanut butter, natural
• 240 ml oat milk, or any milk
• 2 tbsp chia seed, or ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp maple syrup, to taste (optional)

Steps

1. Freeze the banana chunks in a bag for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Frozen banana is what makes it thick and cold like a milkshake; fresh works, but the smoothie comes out thinner.
2. Put the oat milk, frozen banana, peanut butter, chia and vanilla in a high-speed blender and blend on high for about 60 seconds, until completely smooth, with no flecks of chia left.
3. If the blades stall, add a little more milk, 1 tbsp at a time. Too much liquid is what turns it runny.
4. For a thicker, slushier texture, add a small handful of ice and blend again until no chunks remain. Go easy: too much ice dilutes the flavor.
5. Taste, and add another spoonful of peanut butter, or the maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter. Pour into two glasses and drink straight away.
