There are a few things that you need to know about this Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie:
- I made it in bulk, then froze it in mason jars for easy smoothies throughout the week.

- I topped it with chocolate chips and extra honey for an ice cream-like treat!
- But it’s still healthy and full of nutrition, which is the best.

Start by blending the rolled oats into a flour-like texture. Next, simply combine the peanut butter, greek yogurt, almond milk (frozen into ice cubes), protein powder, and honey. Blend until smooth and enjoy!

- Feel free to use peanut butter powder to save on calories.
- This is the best protein powder to use!
- Honey can be omitted or replaced with a sweetener of choice.
- The amount of oats can be adjusted depending on how thick you want the smoothie to be!
