Equipment

  • Stick immersion blender or regular blender
  • 2-cup liquid measure or other deep container
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup oat milk, or use another plant milk or 2% dairy milk
  • 1 banana, medium to large
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup, optional
  • 3 Tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions
 Start Cooking 

  • Pour the oat milk (or your choice of milk) into a two-cup liquid measure with high sides or a smoothie making container.
  • Slice the banana into the milk and add vanilla and maple syrup, if desired.
  • Use a handheld blender, smoothie tool, or regular blender to whip the oat milk mixture until smooth and uniform.
  • Vigorously stir in the chia seeds, distributing evenly throughout.

The maple syrup is completely optional although if you want to serve this as dessert, you shouldn't leave it out. As a dessert, you might even want to use whipped topping with sliced bananas plus a drizzle of maple syrup on top!
