Breakfast Banana

🧂 Ingredients (Serves 1 very hungry human or 2 as a light breakfast)

• 1 ripe banana
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp linseeds (flaxseeds)
• 1 tbsp peanut butter (crunchy or smooth—you’re the boss)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup, if you’re feeling plant-based)
• 500 ml oat milk (chilled)

• ½ tsp cinnamon for warmth
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• Handful of ice cubes for a cool, frothy blend
• 1 tsp cacao powder for a choco-banana vibe
• A pinch of salt (trust—it makes the flavours pop)

🔥 Method

1. Load it up: Toss everything into a blender—banana, oats, seeds, nut butter, oil, honey, and oat milk. If you’re adding extras like cinnamon or ice, now’s the time.
2. Blend until smooth: Blend on high for 45–60 seconds, until creamy and silky smooth. Let it sit for a minute if you want the chia to thicken it slightly.
3. Taste & adjust: Too thick? Add a splash more oat milk. Too mellow? Add a touch more honey or a pinch of salt.
4. Serve: Pour into your favourite glass or smoothie jar. Top with banana slices, oats, or an extra drizzle of PB if you're feelin' fancy.

🧠 Tips

• Meal-prep win: You can soak the oats, seeds, and oat milk overnight for an even creamier, easier-to-digest blend.
• On the go? Pour it into a thermos or shaker bottle—it’ll stay delish for several hours.
• Make it a smoothie bowl: Cut the oat milk to 250 ml and top with granola, fruit, or coconut flakes.
