Smoothie Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 tbsp yogurt
- 3 tbsp oats
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Ice cubes (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather all required ingredients including milk, brewed coffee, yogurt, oats, almond butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and optional ice cubes for blending.
- Combine in blender: Add all ingredients into a blender container, ensuring the coffee is cooled to avoid overheating the blender or changing texture.
- Pulse to mix: Pulse the blender lightly a few times to begin combining the thick ingredients and breaking down the oats.
- Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Check consistency; if too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again to reach your preferred texture.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives to make it vegan or lactose-free.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup, or substitute with honey if preferred.
- Adding ice cubes will make the smoothie colder and slightly more diluted; add according to preference.
- Use freshly brewed coffee and ensure it is cooled before blending for optimal flavor and texture.
- Oats provide thickness and added fiber; rolled oats are recommended for best blending results.
