Creamy, rich, and indulgent, this recipe is a banana bread lover’s dream.

The best part is you don’t need to break out your baking supplies, fire up the oven, or set aside an hour to make this treat. You can enjoy all the classic banana bread flavors in a smoothie by blending nutritious ingredients like fresh bananas, oats, milk, and warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

Smoothies can be a convenient way to take in your daily dose of essential nutrients like vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. I like to add bananas and oats to mine to provide energizing complex carbohydrates along with nutrients like folate and potassium.

From there, mindbodygreen's grass-fed whey protein isolate+ gives me that fullness and satisfaction factor I need to power through my day.* Adding a serving to this smoothie delivers 25 grams of complete protein from grass-fed cows. The protein powder's subtle vanilla also adds to the classic banana bread flavors. I appreciate that it's naturally sweetened with organic monk fruit, organic vanilla extract, and organic cinnamon bark powder, so it's pleasantly sweet but not overpowering.

Here’s how to prep this crave-worthy smoothie in just five minutes. The nutrient profile makes it a nourishing breakfast, midday fuel, and even a post-workout recovery snack.
