  add dark chocolated chips when the moon is full! I use the mill blade on my nutri bullet first to break down the chips and almonds then add the rest of the ingredients and mix with the smoothie blade.

  I use almond meal from Trader Joes. It's ground up and works great! I also add a little vanilla extract! Yummy!

  You could add some ground flax seed to the mix and get more omega 3 goodness.

  I tried this for breakfast today. It was really good. I froze some less than perfect bananas and used them instead of ice. Yum.

  The peals of the bananas have many vitamins and have seen many recipes that called for unpeeled bananas. :)

  @ Jackie, it's ok that you asked about the peel. You didn't know. Don't listen to them; at least you are trying. Good for you! When I was a 25 year old newlywed, I called my mom and asked her how to make tea. My stepfather laughed and said, "She doesn't even know how to boil water!" I now have learned 5 steps to success: pray, show up, follow directions, ask questions, then do it! Repeat. Listen to those who support you and ignore those who don't. My best to you.

  I guess I must just be very old, and some of you are very young, because some of your posts are ridiculous! Didn't your mothers teach you to cook??? You have to ask about whether or not to peel the banana? I guess this is just a sign of the times. PLEASE, young ladies, (and young men), learn how to cook!! It is so important. To take care of yourself and your family through the meals you prepare is such an important way to show love. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

  This is the best smoothie I've found. I used a frozen banana, honey vanilla Greek yogurt and added flax seed and a splash of light vanilla soy milk. Also, I didn't cook the oatmeal first...whoops...but was so good! Also..cut the recipe in half.

  Please peel your banana's and use the directions on the back of the oatmeal package to "cook" your oatmeal.
• May 3, 2013

  If you use plain yogurt, that should cut down the sugar amount.

  I used uncooked oatmeal and it was just as awesome. Great recipe! I added strawberries too.

  Tried this and loved it! Kept us full till lunchtime. Trying it with Almond Milk tomorrow. Peel the banana's folks (?!?) and the cooked oatmeal ... place the raw oatmeal in an oven-proof dish and spread it out. Place it into the oven at 150C for approx 20mins. This will keep in an airtight container for about two weeks.

  Does the oatmeal need to be cooked? I want to try this, but I never have oatmeal cooked ahead of time.

  Delicious, almost taste like vanilla shake or ice cream. It is super addicting im so glad its very healthy!. Ive used black cherry greek yogurt too. Cant stop making these every morning!

  Too much sugar, I used 1 small banana, tbs. greek yogurt, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/3 cup cooked oatmeal and 1 cup of ice.
• April 19, 2013

  When it says "cooked oats", is that porridge?

  I added a scoop of chocolate protein and a splash of milk or almond soy would be delicious as well.
• April 17, 2013
  Rachel
   
  I absolutely love this! I finely chop the almonds first, then add the rest of the ingredients to avoid chuncky pieces in my smoothy. I might have to add protein powder to it cuz this doesn't keep me full for very long. Thanks for the recipe!!!

  Not sure about the banana peel. Is it best to use the old fashioned steel oats or instant oatmeal?

  I made this and it was just perfect. i did add a little more honey about 1 tbsp. I will have this more often as breakfast. Thank you

  P.S. Noosa yoghurt only has 14 carbs per serving (4 oz) so it's better for diabetics as well. It's made with healthy ingredients and sweetened with cane sugar and honey.
• April 5, 2013
  Aileen Grabill
   
  I haven't tried this yet, but I have a suggestion ... instead of Greek yogurt flavored with honey I would try it with Noosa (Aussie culture yoghurt), the honey flavor!

  I had half (1 serving) & this recipe filled me up completely! Its tasty and filling. I couldn't use my regular blender/mixer because it was too thick with the oatmeal ans almonds but my bullet did the trick. Yum! Thanks

  The smoothie was thick, but really good! It tastes wonderful and is energizing. This is now my breakfast go-to smoothie. To those who think it is too many calories, remember that a 380 calorie power smoothie made of whole, nutritious ingredients is more beneficial than a 380 calorie cupcake. Also, taking in consideration of your BMI and BMR, a 380 calorie smoothie is maybe the amount of calories you should maybe be having for breakfast to be energized throughout the day.

  I just read several of these comments. Did no one see that the serving size of this recipe was TWO?

  Also: ground flax. And stevia, vanilla extract or almond extract are good options for more flavor.

  Really healthy recipe, its all good ingredients, just vary it according to how you want to eat. Morning is the best time to get in complex carbs like oats, that will give you energy for the day. Try NOT to have too much sugar in the morning as there's nothing in your system to curb a blood sugar peak and fat formation, so use unsweetened yogurt. Greek yogurt+protein powder will up the protein. Yes, almonds do have a high fat content, but some natural fats are important for your health.

  I didn't see the part about cooked oatmeal, so I used raw. It was thick, but good! Added a little almond milk.

  This sounds great...do you measure the oatmeal after it is cooked or is it 1/2 cup dry and then cooked?

  This is an amazing smoothie! I used uncooked gluten free oatmeal and added a splash of water to make up for the missing liquid. I also split this up in to 3 servings. This is great for a clean eating lifestyle.

  Looks like a great filling smoothie. And for the idiot who said fructose is not a sugar, it is. Its a naturally occurring sugar.

  I used a zero calorie zero sugar Monster energy drink, one banana, vanilla extract, oats, ice and splenda. Rock on Chiquita.
• February 21, 2013
  Wow.
   
  You people seriously think this is fattening because of the calories? Do you people understand anything? Counting calories is a bunch of bull. Eat good foods and cut out white sugar and carb. Someone actually said they were only going to use six almonds to cut down fat. Seriously? It honestly makes me laugh...
• February 21, 2013
  Anon
   
  Ok....let me first just say that you all are a bunch of idiots. Do your homework before you throw out comments that make you sound completely unintelligent. Not all calories are the SAME! There is NO fat in this recipe. The only sugar in it comes from the bananas and that is fructose...not sugar! You don't have to count calories in HEALTH food! 380 calories of GOOD, NON-FATENING calories are COMPLETELY different than other calories from say a brownie or ice cream! Educate yourselves please!

  Tastes great with raw oatmeal! I used half the recipe and it was still more than enough. Also, I used raw honey and plain greek yogurt - both of which are really good and healthy! Great meal replacement especially if you're active and always on the go, does not take long to make at all.
• February 17, 2013

  When u say cooked oatmeal, do u mean prepare the oatmeal first?

  Uh, apparently no one knows that there is a difference between a 380 calorie doughnut and a 380 calorie health drink. Not all calories are created equal. Y'all need to do some research. If you're eating healthy, you don't need to worry about counting calories or 'cutting this in half'. This recipe makes TWO SERVINGS. Share it with someone to help start there day off right!
• February 11, 2013

  I also add ground flax seed, and raw local honey with my plain Greek yogurt. Great before workout drink in the early am.
• February 10, 2013

  This recipe has 380 calories which if was used as breakfast is only 25% of a 1600 calorie diet, so no, it is not high calorie if you consider it as a meal replacement. 1600 calories might even be less than an active woman needs. It sounds great and I want to try it. The recipe calls for COOKED oatmeal, so I image that if raw oatmeal is used the calories would be greater. (Raw oatmeal swells up when cooked, so 1/2 cup raw = closer to 3/4 or 1 cup cooked) How does it taste with raw oatmeal?
• February 7, 2013

  can it be raw oatmeal or fridge overnight oatmeal?
• February 7, 2013

• February 4, 2013

  I made the recipe with one less banana to lessen the claories, and without the ice because I have a low-powered blender. It was SUPER thick, so I has to add a splash of milk to even think about sucking it down a straw.
• February 3, 2013

  I loved it!! I made it just like the recipe called for. Do you have to cook the oats or not? I cooked them but I saw a comment that you didn't have to.....

  Instead of yogurt for those who don't or can't eat dairy, use rice milk or coconut milk and add honey if you want as well!

  Ok, Regina, I'm not trying to be rude but really? Your on a Chiquita banana website and you want them tk use LESS bananas in their recipe? If you want a shake with less potassium I suggest drinking a shake that does not have banana in it!

  I had this for breakast. I used 1 banana,regular light vanilla yogurt,3/4 cup cooked oatmeal,& subsituted pecans for the almonds. I then added 1 tbs honey to my warm cooked oatmeal and added 1 tbs hersheys unsweetened cocoa. So awesome.Healthy hearty shake!! Yummy

  Am I missing something in the recipe. U all are talking about milk, I don't see any milk, almond, or pasteurized or non pasteurized as u are arguing about....I didn't use any milk products, just a little water to give a drinkable consistency, and I loved it! As far as calories and carbs, they are healthy cal and carbs, and breakfast SHOULD be where u eat you most carbs and calories. You burn it all day. That is if your not sitting on the couch watching tv all day.

  I'm really concerned that so many people think that Raw milk is "healthier" for children. Milk is pasteurized to prevent illness and death. http://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/raw-milk-index.html People who are vulnerable should not be consuming raw products, imho.

  I just made this yummy smoothie per the recipe, however, I am going to remix with 1 more banana. It needs more banana flavor in my opinion. Otherwise it has a great consistency and the other flavors are good.
• January 5, 2013

  If you were to mix the oats, the necessary amount of water to cook them, and yogurt the night before, and leave them in the fridge overnight - this could even be done in your blender container - you won't have to cook them come morning. They absorb the water and soften overnight and can be eaten that way alone or in a smoothie. Come morning, add the other ingredients and blend.

  As a kidney transplant patient, too much potassium is a dangerouse thing. I'm wondering how I can cut out some of the potassium in this recipe; perhaps cutting the recipe in half and cutting down on the amount I drink?

  I would be a bit concerned eating 2 whole banana's a day if you were to make this dailly. BUT if you were concerned with the oatmeal, there is the 1 minute kind you can throw in the microwave and make enough for the week!! I am definitely going to try this, I know I will be full til lunch with this smoothie.... full of protien!!

  I think the idea of having to cook the oatmeal makes this 'too much work' for a smoothie. I agree with the almond milk or raw milk, and soaking the almonds. I'd prob add some protein powder, full-fat greek yogurt, other fruit,and kale!
• January 3, 2013
  Wow, some of these comments.... First of all, all the frowny faces on 380 calories per serving are funny. It's bananas, yogurt, almonds, milk, oatmeal
   
  Wow,some of these comments.First of all,all the frowny faces on 380 calories per serving are funny.It's bananas,yogurt,almonds,milk,oatmeal. This isn't a cupcake or donut for 380 calories.All calories are not created equal.Generally,if someone is eating healthier, they dont HAVE to count calories.This is not loaded with fat. I weigh 90 some lbs as a mom of 2,I don't think it has enough ;)I love to eat fat and calories!Stephanie is just missing a "comma" in her sentence about pasteurization.

  FYI: pasteurization is act performed to the milk, not the cow. And pasteurized milk has not been pastured its been pasteurized.

  @Sara: Stephanie is saying exactly what she means and is absolutely correct. The milk should be UN-pasteruized and from pastured cows. You are the one who is uninformed and smug. The recipe sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing.
• December 28, 2012

  Stephanie means raw milk. If she's talking about phytic acid in oatmeal, I'm pretty sure she knows that pasteurized milk does not mean that the cows are pasteurized. The term 'pasteurized' came from Louis Pasteur - the guy who invented the process. She means grass-fed cows. In a pasture. Raw milk is actually healthier... this coming from someone who doesn't eat dairy due to allergies. NOW, onto the recipe. I will try this with almond milk instead of yogurt. And I will soak my oats and nuts :)
• December 28, 2012

  @sara I think @ Stephanie was saying the dairy items should not be pastureized and, in addition, should be from pastured cows, as opposed to cows kept confined.

  I made this, with a few changes and it was delicious! I made only one serving (cutting the ingredients in half). I used one banana, one cup of frozen blueberries (in place of the ice), 1.2 oz of Chobani 0% plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup regular oats soaked for about 5 mins in unsweetened almond milk, and 1/4 cup of sliced almonds. It was still a little thick, so I added a few tablespoons of the almond milk and perfection! Thanks for the great recipe!

• November 27, 2012

  To make this healthy, the oatmeal should be soaked prior to cooking or just soaked. This breaks down the phytic acid and makes it digestable by the human body. The yogurt/milk should be raw and not pasturized from pastured cows, the banana should be organic, the spots on the peel are indicative of both ripeness as well as when the cancer healing power of bananas are reached, almonds should also be soaked prior to consumption for the same reason. Honey should be raw.Learn what healthy is!

  Use 1 cup of Almond Milk instead of yogurt, do not cook the oats try 3 tablespoons to start and no ice, use fewer nuts,1 banana. Before bananas go bad chop them up and freeze in ziplock bags for future smoothies.

  I make mine like this: I dry blend into fine powder old fashion oatmeal and whole almonds make enough to fill a food saver canister. In a clean blender I add 4 large frozen strawberries, blueberries, and a speckled ripe banana. Add one 1/4 cup blended oatmeal mix and add vanilla flavor almond milk or coconut or soy I add 1 TBSP honey wheat germ and blend away. Talk about delicious.

  Almonds are a bit on the expensive side and I assuem they are included in here for protein. Is there something else beside protein powder that could bus used? Also, I would not cook the oatmeal. I mix uncooked oatmeal with my yogurt in the morning and love it

  J, this recipe makes 2 servings, and the nutrition info is per single serving only. now, since you said that this recipe makes 32 oz, then each serving must be 16 oz. 16 oz of the smoothie you made is 280 calories, while 16 oz of this recipe is 380 calories. where is the discrepancy? this recipe isn't telling you you're consuming less calories than you actually are.
• October 23, 2012
  J
   
  I calculated my own nutritional info for this recipe based off the specific brands of the ingredients that I used. I still used the same amounts of all the ingredients. An 8oz serving is 140 calories with 17 carbs. This recipe makes roughly 32oz. I find a large discrepancy in the nutritional information, even allowing flexibility for the difference of brands in ingredients.

  Hey... I see you laughing at anyone considering shoving the peel in the blender (Ann). I just wanted to mention, by the way the recipe was written, 'I' wasn't so sure you weren't suppose to blend the banana peel... which is why I looked at the comments :P lol.

  Hi, If you read the nutrition information above, it says "Per Serving." It also says 53 gms Carbs per serving. The recipe makes 2 servings making the entire recipe 106 gms of Carbs. You have told Josie that one serving equals 26.5 carbs so she will be taking 1/2 the amount of insulin required to cover this 1 serving. I know this because I also am a type I diabetic for 40yrs and have been counting carbs since 1997 when I got my first insulin pump.

  josie, to answer your question, yes, i just had an orientation with a diabetic nutrition consultant today and she is telling me it is best for you to count your carbs, and try to keep them to 45 grams per meal, so if you have just one serving of this smoothie that puts your carb count at 26.5 carbs. which is even better she said if you can keep it at 30 it will help you to loose weight as well as keep you levels down. she also told me a good breakfast would be a banana and nuts so this is good

  this is for sherry.. sherry in answer to your question about the banana peel, Im guessing that they mentioned a banana peel with brown specks because that is when the banana has the most nutritional value. I dont think they mean to put in the banana peel. I hope Im giving you the right answer :)

  I omitted the ice and used plain frozen greek yogurt, frozen bananas and added a 1/4 of unsweetened almond milk. Was soo good! It was suprisingly sweet too considering there was no sugar added! Only the natural sugar in the banana, which ISN'T bad for you!! I tasted it before adding each ingredient and the almond milk with extra almonds and banana were amazing by itself.. a tad liquidy, though.

  Someone asked what they could use instead of oatmeal, for gluten concerns. I bet quinoa would work wonderfully. I also have to avoid dairy, so I will use almond milk and forgo the almonds and the yogurt. I will also be freezing my bananas and eliminating the ice. Tasty! And perfect this way for vegans, autistic people on the GFCF diet, and for celiacs, or those avoiding gluten. Really looking forward to doing this. :) (With some berries... though with pineapple, it would be tropical!)

  Sounds great but I would not cook the oatmeal. I make raw oatmeal smoothies all the time and as long as you add a little almond milk and blend it really well you'll have a thick but drinkable smoothie. Also, use frozen bananas and leave out the ice. It'll be sweeter with no added calories.
• August 4, 2012

  I tried this today, but halved all the amounts of the ingredients and added peanuts instead of almonds. Since I just eyeballed adding them - i think i added too much, tasted a bit too nutty.

  I used Maple & Brown sugar instant oatmeal to add some extra taste. One banana since it was for myself. No yogurt but still turned out very yummy. My only suggestion is use less ice!

  1/2 cup cooked oatmeal....do you mean make the oatmeal first to use once mush? or do you just use the long cooking oats type of oatmeal. You don't show cooked oatmeal but someone commented that they used vanilla soy milk to make the oatmeal.....
• April 8, 2012

  Made this receipe today and was filling but not too tasty. I think if it had other fruits to make it a little sweeter it would be delicious.

  This was a wonderful way to start the day! Like everyone else, I changed the ingredients a bit. I didn't have Greek yogurt, but I always have kefir in the fridge. I think that probably helped with the thickness issue many have mentioned, yet the flavor is similar. I also cooked my oatmeal to a more watery consistency so that the smoothie was less thick. Loved the recipe and enjoyed hearing all of the variations people have tried!
• February 11, 2012
  Beth
   
  I followed the recipe exactly as above and then added one scoop of protein powder. WOW Yum! Finished product measured out to be almost 5 cups, you can halve the recipe or store the rest in the freezer. I scrolled through the comments for some more variation ideas, can't wait to play around with this recipe.

  @Rlamar261... If you use the WW points calculator for the whole recipe's nutrition info, it is going to be 5 points because it counts the calories, carbs, etc. for the bananas (which should be zero). I count this as 3 points only for the ingredients.

  This was factastic, I don't think I have ever been so stuffed from a smoothie!! I used instant oats, I just poored 1/2 cup of boiling water on it while I got the other ingreedients. I think the warm oatmeal must have thinned it out becuase it was very cold, but had an excellent smoothie texture!
• January 29, 2012
  Rlamar261
   
  For WW it's 10 plus points for 2 servings. The recipe makes 2 servings. So 1 serving is 5 points. Just thought I'd clarify for the person who thinks its 10. I tried inputting it into recipe builder without almonds, still comes up as 5 points per serving. Even though the oatmeal and yogurt only end up being 3 points?

  I will try this, but I have been cutting a banana into chunks and putting in the freezer to make smoothies. That should eliminate using ice cubes.
• January 10, 2012
  Amy
   
  This was delish!! I pretty much made this from the breakfast my kids left on the table. I made it quite a bit smaller. About 1/2 C oatmeal, 1/2 a banana, about 10 almonds, a tablespoon of yogurt, some milk and ice. If you put the ingredients in a pint size mason jar,screw the blade and base of your cheap blender onto the jar and put that on the blender it pretty much turns your blender into a magic bullet. You can then just drink out of the jar and save a dish!
• January 10, 2012
  Melissa
   
  YUM YUM YUMMMMMM!!!! I used raw oats that I ground up in a food processor first, slivered almonds that I also processed, 1 cu vanilla activia, about a tbls. of honey, 1/8 cup of soy protein powder, and a little 2% milk. DELICIOUS AND SATISFYING!!! Thank you, Chiquita!
• January 8, 2012

  I used walnuts, unflavored Almond milk to soften the oats, a peach-flavored Activia and a drop of honey. It was awesome! I love the chewiness...made me feel like it was more of a meal than just a drink.
• January 8, 2012
  Danielle
   
  I used one and a half frozen bananas, soaked the oats and almonds (crushed) in a little bit of milk, used plain yogurt, and added a little bit of honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. It turned out wonderful (and I hate bananas!). You have to chew a little bit since the consistency is more like runny oatmeal than that of a smoothy but I loved it and so did my 2 year old daughter.

  i NEVER cook oatmeal before putting in this or any smoothie. I will soak quick (not instant) oats in appx 1/2-3/4 cup liquid (almond milk is perfect) while I'm gathering ingredients and just pour it all in. Yes there may be some chewing necessary, but chewing smoothies is better for one's digestion :) p.s. -- add a cup of pumpkin, 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder & a few dashes of cinnamon to the above-- makes 2 huge, delicious servings of "pumpkin pie smoothie"!
• January 6, 2012
  Lynsey
   
  I mean, it's good if you like "chewing" your smoothie... For me it's too much work for a smoothie. Cooking the oatmeal first, etc. I also added a bit of almond milk, cinnamon, and vanilla which made it not so bland.
• January 6, 2012
  Melinda
   
  How do I cook the oatmeal to put in? I have quick oats, can I just add that in, not cooked?
• January 5, 2012

  I soaked the almonds in water for a few hours, so they'd be softer and better for absorption before blending. My kids didn't drink it all, so I put the leftovers in their popsicle molds.

  Try freezing the banana and yogurt so the ice will not dilute it.
• December 13, 2011

  Its a great recipe you may want to add a little honey and or more yogurt than indicated for flavor... borwn sugar posibly.. the ice(water) tends to dilute taste but is necessary so a little push to the flavor works well...

  This smoothie is such a fabulous idea! I made half the recipe with plain non-fat yogurt and stirred in 1/8 cup melted chocolate chips. Other ideas: add cinnamon, add maple syrup, try different kinds of nuts (someone suggested pecans and/or walnuts), add bran flakes. (not all ideas at the same time!) You could also try different flavors of yogurt!

  We have smoothies all the time and use frozen strawberries, blueberries or blackberries. No ice cubes. More yogurt and a little juice if it's too thick. Add a little honey to the regular yogurt if you can't find the Greek yogurt. Our health food store has ground almonds, pecans and walnuts. All sound good. Thanks.

  This is a great breakfast smoothie, but you can enhance this even more with more protein by adding 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter and some Flax Meal. Healthy, delicious and a great run out the door with something that gets you going with long lasting energy.

  My family likes using ‘frozen’ bananas in place of crushed ice. Simply peel, wrap & place overly ripened bananas in the freezer to cool. We keep a few Chiquita bananas in our freezer all the time whenever a healthy snack like this is desired.
