Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie with Oats & Amla
This thick and creamy smoothie combines banana, peanut butter, oats and cocoa with a teaspoon of amla powder. A frozen banana keeps it cold and creamy without needing ice, while honey lets you adjust the sweetness to your taste.
Why You’ll Love This Smoothie
It comes together in about five minutes, uses simple ingredients, and the oats and peanut butter make it more satisfying than a plain fruit smoothie. You can also use a fresh banana and add ice if that is what you have.

- 1 tsp amla (Indian gooseberry) powder
- 1 tsp honey, or to taste

Recipe Notes
Frozen banana: A frozen banana gives the smoothie a thicker, colder texture without ice.
Fresh banana: A regular banana works too. Add a few ice cubes if you want a colder, thicker drink.
Sweetness: Start with 1 teaspoon of honey and add more only if needed.
Amla powder: Amla, also called Indian gooseberry, contains vitamin C and plant antioxidants. Vitamin C supports normal immune function, collagen formation and iron absorption. The exact vitamin C amount can vary by product and processing, so check your package if you need a specific amount.
