Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 banana (previously sliced and frozen)
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee (120 mL, chilled)
- ½ cup milk (120 mL, any variety)
- ¼ cup rolled oats (25 g)
Optional
- 1 spoonful of nut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Before blending, make sure the banana is sliced and frozen to ensure a thick and creamy smoothie texture. Brew a strong coffee and chill it to avoid warming the smoothie.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen banana, chilled coffee, milk, and rolled oats into a blender. If you like, add a spoonful of nut butter for extra flavor and creaminess.
- Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth. You can add more milk if the smoothie is too thick to reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use any milk of your choice, such as dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk, to suit your dietary preferences.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
- Adding nut butter is optional but adds richness, protein, and healthy fats.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more people.
- To prepare in advance, keep the ingredients separate and blend just before serving to maintain freshness.
