Healthy Peanut Butter Smoothie Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:
Peanut Butter – Creamy peanut butter works best. However, you could also try almond butter, cashew butter, or any type of nut butter!
Rolled Oats – The oats in this recipe help to thicken the smoothie and add a creaminess. This also replaces the frozen banana that’s typically in smoothies!
Plain Greek Yogurt – A non-dairy yogurt option works great, too.
Honey (or Maple Syrup) – Sweeten this smoothie with a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
Almond Milk – Any type of milk works in this recipe! Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk.
Vanilla Protein Powder – The protein powder adds nutrition and vanilla flavor!
How to Make a Peanut Butter Smoothie Without Banana
Start by blending the rolled oats into a flour-like texture (or use oat flour instead). Next, simply combine the peanut butter, greek yogurt, almond milk (frozen into ice cubes), protein powder, and honey. Blend until smooth and enjoy!
Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe tips
- If you don’t have almond milk frozen in an ice cube tray, simply use regular almond milk and freeze the entire smoothie in mason jars for later. This is great for easy smoothies throughout the week!
- Feel free to use peanut butter powder (opens in a new tab) instead of protein powder, if desired.
- This is my personal favorite protein powder (opens in a new tab) to use!
- Honey can be omitted or replaced with a sweetener of choice.
- The amount of rolled oats can be adjusted depending on how thick you want the smoothie to be!
Why You Need Oats in Your Smoothie
Rolled oats are nutritious, making them great for adding to your smoothie! Some of the benefits include high fiber, healthy carbs, and antioxidants. Balanced with healthy fats and protein, adding oats to your smoothie makes for a filling and healthy meal. They also help to thicken smoothies that have no bananas!

How to Store a Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie
While smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, you can also store leftovers or even prep them ahead of time and freeze for later! To store, pour the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie into mason jars and add airtight lids. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months!
When ready to enjoy, let the smoothies thaw out in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before enjoying or lightly thaw it in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds until you get the right consistency.

Hi so excited to try this! Can I put vanilla extract in with my unsweetened protein powder that I already have?
Yes, absolutely!
These look amazing – Haven’t tried them yet, but I look forward to it. How great that you can freeze them in Mason jars — makes the morning that much easier!
I really like that this smoothie has no banana! Those are always harder to find. It was really tasty and I’ll definitely make it again!
I am ALWAYS looking for smoothie recipes that omit bananas, as I developed an allergy to them (and hazelnuts) three years ago out of the blue!
The IDEA of adding a grain to a smoothie is a common thing, I know, but my brain will forever have an alarm going off telling me that oats don’t “belong” in my smoothie.
Thanks for posting!

This is hands down my new favourite smoothie! So rich, creamy and flavourful!
This is a great smoothie for peanut butter lovers. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk rather than plain for a slight twist and it gives it just a little hint of vanilla flavor.
