Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe banana, sliced and frozen
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or almond/sunflower seed butter)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based), optional but recommended
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt), optional for extra creaminess
  • Pinch of salt (it makes the cookie flavor pop)
  • Handful of ice, optional for a thicker texture

Method
 

  1. Prep your base: Add the frozen banana, oats, peanut butter, flaxseed or chia, protein powder, vanilla, and salt to the blender.
  2. Pour in liquids: Add the milk and yogurt. Start with 1 cup of milk; you can add more later if needed.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
  4. Add the chocolate: Toss in the mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs and pulse a few times. You want specks and small bits for that “cookie” texture.
  5. Taste and adjust: Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if you like. For a thicker, milkshake-like smoothie, add a handful of ice and blend again.
  6. Serve: Pour into a tall glass and finish with a sprinkle of oats or a few extra chocolate chips on top.
