Creamy Oats Smoothie for Weight Loss – No Chalky Texture
This creamy, filling oats smoothie is your secret weapon for sustainable weight loss. Packed with fiber-rich oats, protein, and naturally sweet banana, it keeps you satisfied for hours without the chalky texture of typical diet shakes. Ready in just 5 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 4-5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Pour almond milk into blender. Add rolled oats and let soak for 10 minutes if you have time (this creates smoother texture, but you can skip if rushed).
- Add frozen banana chunks, protein powder, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the blender.
- Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high speed. Continue blending for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth with no visible oat pieces.
- Check consistency. Add more milk if too thick, or add ice cubes if too thin. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
- Pour into glass and enjoy immediately for best texture.
Notes
Flavor variations: Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder and peanut butter for chocolate version, or 1 cup spinach and 1/2 green apple for green smoothie.
Best texture tip: Always use frozen banana, not fresh, for thick milkshake consistency. Peel and freeze ripe bananas in chunks for easy smoothie prep.
Cost savings: Buy oats and bananas in bulk. Generic protein powder works just as well as name brands.
