- 1 scoop (30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, plant-based or whey)

- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon into the blender.

Notes
Pulse oats first if blender is not powerful to avoid gritty texture. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or oats/yogurt. Use unsweetened milk to control sugar. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours, stir before drinking. Avoid freezing blended smoothie.
