Allergens

Gluten
Milk
Peanuts

Oats count as a gluten cereal under UK labelling and ordinary oats are milled alongside wheat. Certified gluten-free oats are a separate ingredient here.
Most whey powders contain soya lecithin, which counts as soya. Check the tub.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

Espresso2 shots (60 ml), cooled
Banana1 medium, about 100 g
Frozen in chunks if you have planned ahead. It replaces the ice and makes it thicker. Peeled weight. A medium banana is about 100 g without the skin.
Rolled oats40 g
Dry weight.
Whey protein isolate1 scoop, about 30 g
Values for an unflavoured or lightly flavoured isolate. A concentrate or a blend carries more fat and carbohydrate at the same scoop.
Semi-skimmed milk250 ml
Peanut butter1 tbsp (15 g)
The kind that is peanuts and salt. Sweetened spreads carry more carbohydrate.
IceA handful

Method

Blend the oats on their own for ten seconds first, until they are a coarse flour. Whole oats in a smoothie are chewy in the wrong way.
Add the milk, coffee, whey, peanut butter and banana and blend for thirty to forty seconds until smooth.
Add the ice and blend again briefly. Drink within a few minutes; the oats keep thickening as they sit.

Worth knowing

Over 500 kcal because it is porridge, coffee and a protein shake in one glass. The oats are 150 of it and the peanut butter 90, and both can go if you want a lighter version at about 320.
Blitzing the oats first is the trick. Ten seconds dry, then the liquid.
