Creamy Banana Oat Smoothie
A simple, filling breakfast smoothie built for a Ninja blender’s power. Combine 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk (dairy or plant), 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 4–6 ice cubes. Add liquids first, then soft ingredients, oats last. Start on low for 10–15 seconds, then blend high 45–60 seconds until silky. Serves 1; prep time 5 minutes.
Berry Greens Protein Smoothie
Bright berries plus greens for a quick kitchen-start with a Ninja. In the blender jar put 1 cup mixed frozen berries, 1 cup baby spinach, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 cup cold water or almond milk, and 4 ice cubes. Blend starting on low to chop greens, then high until smooth (about 40–50 seconds). Use the pulse feature once if large berry chunks remain. Serves 1; prep time 4 minutes. This pairs well with broader fruit options in the 17 best fruit smoothie recipes list.

Place liquids first, then frozen fruit and yogurt; blend on high 40–55 seconds until creamy. Use the tamper if your model has one to push fruit toward the blades. Serves 1; prep time 3 minutes.
Chocolate Avocado Morning Shake
A rich, drinkable breakfast using healthy fats and cocoa — perfect for a Ninja’s consistent chop.

For a thinner drink, add 2–3 tablespoons water during blending. Serves 1; prep time 4 minutes.
Citrus Ginger Wake-Up Smoothie
A light, zesty option your Ninja will emulsify quickly. In the jar: 1 peeled orange, 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup plain water, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 3 ice cubes.
