Tigernut and Peanut Protein Smoothie with Banana and Oats
A creamy blend of tigernut milk, peanut butter, banana, and oats for an easy grab-and-go pre-workout smoothie.
Tigernut milk has a naturally sweet, slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with banana and peanut butter, and blending in rolled oats turns this from a thin drink into something closer to a meal. It's an easy option for mornings when a full breakfast isn't realistic before heading out.
We tagged this fitness__athlete_nutrition because the combination of oats and banana brings quick and slower-digesting carbs together, while peanut butter adds a real protein and fat contribution rather than just flavor. It's a common pre-workout choice for anyone who trains early and needs something they can drink on the way out the door.
Blend it thick and eat it with a spoon, or thin it with extra tigernut milk if you'd rather sip it.
