Ingredients

4 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
4 cups milk
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

From your pantry: 1 cup cold brew coffee or chilled strong coffee, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 cups ice.

Instructions

Peel and slice the bananas and freeze them for at least 2 hours (or overnight) on a plate or in a bag.
Add the oats to the blender first and pulse until finely ground.
Add the milk, coffee, Greek yogurt, cocoa, vanilla, protein powder, frozen banana and ice.
Blend on high until thick and completely smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Taste and blend in a little honey if you like it sweeter.
Pour into 4 glasses and serve right away, dusted with a pinch of cocoa.

Tip: Freeze leftover morning coffee in an ice cube tray and use it in place of the ice. The shake stays strong instead of turning watery.
