I use Vitamix for all my smoothies, I just add everything to the blender and blend well.

ingredient subsitutions

if you have peanut allergies, try substituting with different kinds of nut butter. alternatively, you can try using seed butter if you want to avoid nut butter completely.

for a vegan option, use dairy-free milk. any one of your favorite plant-based milk will work wonderfully in the recipe.

if you are following a gluten-free diet, make sure the oats you are using are labeled gluten-free.

i usually buy the brown flax seeds, which have a bolder taste than the milder yellow ones. you can use either one of them to make this healthy peanut butter banana smoothie.

i have used dates as the sweetener here in the recipe. you can substitute with honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, sugar, sugar-replacement, etc. basically, any sweetener of your choice.

you can try vanilla essence instead of ground cinnamon for flavor.

how to roast bananas

roasting a banana enhances and intensifies its flavors. we love this roasted banana smoothie and it features at least weekly once in our breakfast rotation. meal-prep tip - if you are planning to make this roasted banana smoothie for breakfast, but do not have time to roast the bananas in the morning, try this method. roast the bananas ahead of time, peel, and portion-size. store them in a freezer-safe container. check FDA for guidance.

• preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit  (approx. 148 degrees Celsius ). line a baking tray with either parchment paper/silicone mat.
• place bananas on the tray. with a fork, pierce the bananas a few times on all sides (optional).
• bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit  (approx. 148 degrees Celsius ) for 20 minutes.
• remove from the oven and let it cool.
• peel & use (or freeze for later).

if you are looking for an all-natural, healthy smoothie recipe try this one. it keeps you fuller for a longer time.

additional notes

• 1 CUP = 250 ML. (US cups are typically 240 ml. You can use US cups with no significant change to the dish).

• adjust the serving size to suit your dietary needs
