Instructions
Soak the oats in the water for 5-10 minutes. This just softens them up and makes them easier to blend.
Add all the ingredients to a blender (I have a Blendtec which I am in love with, but this is also a great moderately priced choice) in the following order: milk, oats (with the soaking water), yogurt, peanut butter, banana (chopped), cocoa powder, and chia seeds.
Blend on high for 30 seconds – 1 minute, until everything is completely blended, smooth, and frothy.
