Coffee Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups unsweetened oat milk, or low fat milk
• 2 frozen overripe bananas, broken into chunks
• 8 oz. ice cubes
• 2 Tbsp cashew butter
• 1 1/2 Tbsp instant espresso powder, or 8 oz strong frozen cold brew coffee cubes (and omit ice)
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 cup oat flour, or 6 Tbsp rolled oats
• 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch or regular

Optional toppings

• Sweetened whipped cream or whipped coconut cream
• Chocolate sauce or chocolate shavings
• Vanilla sauce or caramel sauce

Instructions

1. To a high speed blender add oat milk, frozen bananas, ice cubes or frozen cold brew cubes, cashew butter, espresso powder (omit if using frozen cold brew cubes instead of plain ice), maple syrup, oat flour, and cocoa powder.
2. Cover blender with lid and blend on low speed then gradually increase to high speed and blend until smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds.
3. Garnish with whipped cream and other optional toppings if desired.

Notes

1. Almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or peanut butter can be used in place of cashew butter. Cashew butter is just my favorite here to leave the flavor of the coffee to shine.
2. Nutrition estimate does not include optional toppings.
