After a long ride on the stationary bike and a run on the treadmill Saturday morning, I couldn't wait to get home and try this smoothie.
Peanut Butter Smoothie
1/3 c oats
1 c almond milk
1 c almond milk
1 ripe banana
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp peanut butter
dash of vanilla extract
ice (if desired)
Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Add ice if desired.
The smoothie was a winner. The combination of almond milk and peanut butter provided the perfect consistency and the addition of the banana and the slight touch of vanilla added the perfect flavor. I did add a couple cubes of ice to reduce the thickness of the smoothie; however, if I were having this smoothie for a snack, the creamier texture would have been desired.

What may become a staple breakfast option, I am excited to try different variations of the smoothie, possibly adding flax or using blueberries or strawberries in place of the banana.
