by

This nutrient-dense, high-calorie smoothie packs healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and clean protein to help you meet your weight-gain goals without feeling overly stuffed. It takes less than five minutes to whip up and delivers roughly 650 to 750 calories depending on your choice of milk and sweetener.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (fresh or frozen) — Provides easily digestible carbohydrates and natural sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural or standard) — Adds healthy fats and dense calories (~190 calories).
  • 1 cup whole milk (or full-fat oat milk for dairy-free) — Provides rich calories and fluid base.
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat) or 1 scoop protein powder — Boosts the protein content to support muscle gain.
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats — Adds complex carbs and extra thickness.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional) — An extra calorie kick if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional) — For flavor.

Instructions

1.Prep the dry ingredients:

Add the rolled oats to the blender first and pulse them into a fine powder for a smoother texture.
2.Add the liquids and soft ingredients:

Pour in the whole milk, then add the peeled bananas, peanut butter, Greek yogurt (or protein powder), and sweetener if using.
3.Blend until completely smooth:

Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is uniform, creamy, and easy to drink. If it is too thick, splash in a little extra milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
