A drink so satisfying that it kept me energized through my entire morning workout and beyond.

For the Base Smoothie

Instructions
-
Add the rolled oats to your blender first and pulse 3-4 times until they're roughly ground. This creates a smoother texture and prevents any chewy bits in your final smoothie.
-
Pour in the almond milk, followed by the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and that crucial pinch of sea salt. The salt enhances all the flavors—don't skip it!
-
Add your frozen banana slices, cinnamon, and any optional boosters you're using. If you're using fresh banana instead of frozen, add the ice cubes now.
-
Start blending on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and blend for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if needed.
-
Give your smoothie a taste test. Want it sweeter? Add more maple syrup. Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? Add a few more oats and blend again.
-
Pour into your favorite glass or travel mug and enjoy right away for the best texture and taste!
