Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie (Dairy Free and High Protein)

Pinterest

This smoothie is a very filling and satisfying breakfast that will tide you over until lunch. It is packed with almost 40 grams of protein and lots of good flavor, nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, and digestive enzymes.

What you will need:

• Frozen banana

• Frozen papaya

• Quick oats

• Dairy free milk

• Real maple syrup

• Peanut butter

• PB2

• Cinnamon

• Himalayan pink salt

• Collagen

You will need to freeze bananas and papaya ahead of time. If you don't like papaya or don't have access to it, you can swap it with your favorite berry. Papaya adds some digestive enzymes and vitamin C.

I like to use vanilla almond milk for this recipe for extra sweetness and vanilla flavor. Feel free to use your favorite milk. The salt adds minerals and helps cut the sweet. Cinnamon add a touch of fun flavor but you can skip it if you would like. I use maple syrup because it is a low FODMAP option, but feel free to use honey.

PB2 adds protein and more peanut butter flavor, you can also use PBFit brand. I like to use Bulletproof or Dose & Co collagen for this recipe. You can use protein powder instead, but personally I find dairy free protein powders to have an unpleasant texture. They also tend to take over the flavor of the smoothie. Collagen is a good source of protein but it is not a complete protein without proper pairing. It is missing the 9th essential amino acid, tryptophan. Tryptophan can be found in peanuts, oatmeal, eggs and meat and fish sources. This smoothie creates a complete protein by combining collagen with peanut butter and oatmeal.

Add your frozen fruit first, followed by peanut butter, cinnamon, salt, oats, PB2, maple syrup, milk, then lastly collagen. Blend until smooth.

Sip and enjoy!
