Having two young children, I have learned some creative ways to increase their veggie content, protein content, etc. This milkshake is perfect for hiding my secret ingredient. Oatmeal! Yes, oatmeal in the shake. Who doesn’t need a little extra fiber in their diet?!?
My one year old loves this one. He sips on it using his sippy cup. I just smile because I know how much good stuff he is getting. I tend to whip this up when the bananas are to ripe to eat by themselves. This is even perfect for a quick breakfast and your kids will think you are the best mom EVER for giving them a milkshake for breakfast.
Monkey Milkshake
3 very ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tbls natural peanut butter
1/4 cup uncooked oatmeal
2 tbls chocolate syrup
1-2 cups ice
Add all the ingredients to your blend and blend away. Start slowly with the ice and add until you reach your desired consistency.
Serves 2-3
The better quality ingredients you use, the better. Use old fashioned rolled oats or steel cut oats, natural (unsweetened) peanut butter, and homemade chocolate syrup. If you control the quality of ingredients, the better it will taste and the better it will be for you.

Great idea! I love smoothies and the addition of oatmeal is just what I need! I think it'd be perfect for my one year old as well!
I think this looks good! I have a smoothie recipe that uses oatmeal, too. I usually blend that first so it will be finer. Junior hates too many chunks. 😉
