Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie for Weight Loss uses peanut butter powder because it’s the healthiest way to add delicious peanut butter to your smoothie! Lower in fat (and fatty acids that aren’t as good for you) and HIGH IN PROTEIN, this smoothie really satisfies, keeping you feeling full for hours, which reduces snacking.
With just five simple ingredients and 11g to 21g protein, depending on which version you make, this drink not only helps with portion control but also supports fat loss and overall health.
It’s the ideal way to stay on track with your wellness goals—while still enjoying a Gluten-free, Vegan breakfast that tastes as good as it feels. Let’s dive into the details of why this smoothie is the perfect addition to your routine.
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie for Weight Loss at breakfast
When it comes to breakfast, finding something that’s not only delicious and high in protein — but also keeps you full and fueled until lunch — can be tricky.
That’s where the Peanut Butter and Banana Oats Smoothie comes in—your new go-to for a satisfying, weight loss-friendly start to the day.
Ingredients in Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie for Weight Loss
This nutrient-packed smoothie combines the natural sweetness of ripe banana, the creamy richness of peanut butter (but healthier PB powder!), and the digestion-healthy filling fiber of oats to create a drink that’s effective in helping you manage your weight.
Packed with protein, fiber, enough calories for natural energy and very little fat, this smoothie works wonders as a meal replacement. Feeling fuller longer means less calories overall!
It’s designed to keep hunger at bay for longer, so you’re less likely to reach for those mid-morning (or any) snacks.
The 5 ingredients and what makes them special
- rolled oats (or quick oats are okay if that’s what you have)
- A ½ cup serving of dry oatmeal contains just 150 calories, which is less than 2 slices of toast.
- Oats are also healthy because they absorb fat, which not only helps with weight loss goals, but also aids the liver, which otherwise stores the excess fat — leading to a newer common American phenomenon: fatty liver disease.
- peanut butter powder — This is the only one I use and recommend because of its quality (I love that it’s organic but still very affordable!). Peanut Butter Powder adds 5 grams of protein to this smoothie and almost no extra fat! This product tastes amazing and is low in calories.
- banana
- MOST weight loss smoothies add a sweetener! It is much healthier to just add one banana. We get real food sweetening our smoothie and giving us energy. Yes, you can absolutely lose weight eating a banana every day. No longer adding sweeteners to our food is an important step for weight loss.
- water + oat milk/almond milk — I give some suggestions in the actual Recipe below for how to find natural milks; (if you can, avoid those that contain vegetable oils and vitamins). Or use homemade.
- sea salt, or Potassium Lite Salt = electrolytes (healthier than plain salt and easy to make; more on this in the Recipe below.)
Extra protein option
This base smoothie recipe has 11g of protein. If you want 21g of protein in your morning smoothie instead, collagen is the easy healthy solution!
Add grass-finished collagen. (This is the best one; it’s 3rd party tested for pesticides. Use code BEAUTIFUL10 at checkout for 10% off your order).
The recommended collagen adds 10g of protein to your weight loss smoothie.
How to make Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie for Weight Loss
Three easy steps:
- Add oats to blender. Blend or pulse until mostly powdered or finely ground.
- Add banana. (If frozen, be sure it’s cut into smaller chunks or slices.) Top with milk, water, PB powder, optional collagen and sea salt.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!
