“This smoothie is super simple and only takes a couple of minutes to make,” EL Wine and Dine Editor Amy Greenburg says. “It’s packed with protein, and keeps me full from breakfast until lunch without snacking in between.”

Ingredients

• 1 whole banana
• ½ cup soy or almond milk
• ½ cup rolled oats (if you want it a little less thick, just add ¼ cup oats)
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (add less if you don’t want it quite as rich)
• Dash of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients in a blender, and blend for about 20 to 30 seconds.

2. Pour into a glass and serve immediately, or place in the refrigerator until it’s ready to drink – or eat (I like eating it with a spoon!).
