Some mornings you just wake up craving a cozy oatmeal cookie. That is exactly why I created this easy, oatmeal cookie protein smoothie. It’s a little inconvenient to have to make cookies for breakfast, so why not make an healthier and faster version of the very thing you are craving?! This oatmeal cookie protein smoothie is made with almond butter, oats, protein powder, cinnamon to achieve that “oatmeal cookie” flavor. It’s the perfect breakfast, snack, or sweet treat during those autumn months! Check out the full details and recipe below;)

Why should I make this oatmeal cookie protein smoothie?
Well, if you’re like me, you have a tendency to make the same recipes over and over until you are absolutely sick of it. I am trying to break free from that habit and switch up my favorite meals by swapping their flavor profile. For example, I make lots of smoothies for breakfast because they are easy and delicious, but instead of making the same one repeatedly, I will simply just switch up the flavors. I still get to enjoy my smoothie but I won’t get sick of it because I change up the flavor.
Is this protein smoothie healthy?
Well, I am so glad you asked, because the answer is yes! This smoothie is naturally sweetened with a banana and protein powder, so there is no refined sugar. The whole grain, balanced carbs from the oats and the healthy fats from the almond butter make this protein smoothie a healthy, balanced recipe!
This recipe is also naturally vegan, dairy free, and can be made gluten free as well;)
