    Pancake Batter Smoothie

    Pancake Batter Smoothie - Hearty, healthy, and delicious, this smoothie will keep you full for hours, and it tastes like pancake batter!

    Ok, I know the phrases 'cookie batter', 'cake batter', and even 'brownie batter' get thrown around like we're all a bunch of confection-craving suckers, but I can legitimately call this 'pancake batter' because it is!

    This recipe is loosely based on my Blender Pancakes, without the eggs.

    Quite often I make the above pancakes and eat the batter, so I started thinking about how much I'd love it as a smoothie!

    It's so thick and creamy, and super easy for anyone to prepare!

    By blending together the ingredients the night before, this creates an overnight pancake batter smoothie, if you will.

    If you eat overnight oats, you know this step serves to reduce the phytic acid in the oats, but it also softens them, creating a better mouthfeel.

    Can I make this the morning I want to eat it?

    Yes! I find it to be delicious both ways.

    Lauren, why on earth do you add baking soda to a smoothie??

    You may be tempted to omit the baking soda, but I beg of you not to.

    It neutralizes the tartness of the yogurt, rendering a sweeter smoothie.

    It also lends a distinct 'doughy' flavor to the smoothie, as most batters require some leavening agent.

    You won't be disappointed!

      This is wonderful, thank you! My daughter is on a 2-week "pourable" liquid diet (due to a mouth surgery) and she has been missing pancakes so much. We're going to try this tomorrow!

      This was delicious! I tried it and it tasted JUST like pancake batter
      It was a little too sweet for me, so I used greek yogurt and a little less honey.
      yum!

      Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!

        I can eat half of it. Adjust it as you wish if you feel it's too much for you.

      OMG! What a GREAT idea! I've often thought the batter was so tasty, but hadn't thought of actually just enjoying it... as is! You ROCK! And congrats on the food buzz feature... that's how I found you! 😉

      Mh, that sounds like a tasty smoothie though I'm not even a smoothie person :).

      Regarding the second question I'm like you: Shy around many people but talkative and laughing loudly around people I know and one-on-one. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one like this - it surely can feel like that at times.

        Haha, well thank you! I don't encounter many who don't like smoothies, although I have heard people say they like to be able to chew something. 🙂

      Hi, Lauren! You're so creative!! Love it!! I haven't had a smoothie in a really long time..I know, crazy right? There was a time I drank one every single day, and now nothin...this needs to change. I'm somewhat in the middle. Not too shy nor am I outgoing. I just like to blend in 😉

        Hi Min! Thanks girl! I don't think you need to have a smoothie every day, although it's definitely a good way to hide some raw spinach. 🙂

      This is so unique! I totally believe that baking soda makes all the difference. I will make this as soon as I get me some non-dairy yogurt!

      Love the idea of a pancake batter smoothie! I need to make more, such an easy fast breakfast. Introvert-extrovert combo, I do best one on one too, but also feel like I need company of close friends over solitude.
