A cook do not recommend using steel cut oats in this recipe as the raw oats are less processed and take longer to soften. However, here are two ways to use them in this smoothie if that is all you have on hand:

What goes in

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 banana, fresh or frozen
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter, plus more for drizzling on top
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

How it comes together

1. Add to blender: Add your oats, banana, Greek yogurt, flaxseed meal, milk, vanilla cinnamon, and a little bit of peanut butter to a powerful blender or food processor.
2. Blend ingredients: Blend everything until you get a silky, smooth consistency. Feel free to add more milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie or a handful of ice for a thicker smoothie. Taste and adjust any ingredients as-needed for more flavor.
3. Serve and enjoy: Pour into glasses or mason jars. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for later!
