Sometimes morning smoothie recipes don’t have enough protein to sustain you until lunch. This protein-packed banana oat breakfast smoothie from Running with Spoons does not have that problem. The inclusion of yogurt and chia seeds boosts the protein, and if you let it sit overnight, the smoothie becomes thick and filling, like a pudding. Check out this recipe for a new way to use bananas and oats in your breakfast routine.

A frozen banana contributes vitamins and creates a creaminess typically found in milkshakes. A half-cup of strong coffee in the recipe opens your eyes when you drink this smoothie. This breakfast will get you going while still providing you with a fruit serving to start your day.
