This coffee-filled caffeine boost smoothie is bound to wake you up! A chilled smoothie version of a morning cappuccino that has the addition of dates for a little sweetness, a touch of cacao and a hint of rolled oats to make the smoothie thicker and you fuller for longer. Feel free to play with the amount of espresso and dates, so you can make it as strong or as sweet as you like it!
Ingredients
- 3-5 soft dates, pitted
- 2 teaspoons cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons rolled oats (choose certified gluten-free if allergic)
- 250ml (81/2 fl oz/1 cup) unsweetened plant milk
- 1-2 shots espresso (approx. 2-4 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon cold-pressed coconut oil
- 2 ice cubes
Method
- Put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on a high speed until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness and coffee flavour to your liking by adding more dates, espresso or milk, if necessary.
- Pour into one medium-sized glass or cup (as featured above) and enjoy right away. The swirl in the photo is simply a splash of extra plant milk stirred with a spoon.
