Cinnamon Oat Breakfast Smoothie (Cozy, Filling & High-Protein)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- 1 large frozen banana, sliced
- 3/4 cup silken tofu (soft or silken, drained)
- 1–1 1/4 cups unsweetened milk of choice (almond, oat, soy, or dairy)
- 1–1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (flax meal)
- Sweetener to taste (1–2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey, or 1–2 dates), optional
- Pinch of salt
- Ice cubes (2–3), optional for extra thickness
Instructions
- Prep the blender: Add milk first to help everything blend smoothly. Start with 1 cup; you can add more later.
- Load the base: Add rolled oats, silken tofu, frozen banana, cinnamon, vanilla, ground flaxseed, sweetener (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Blend until creamy: Start low, then increase to high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth. Scrape the sides if needed.
- Adjust: For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes or more oats and blend again. For a thinner sip, splash in extra milk.
- Taste and finish: Add another pinch of cinnamon or a touch more sweetener if you like. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately.
