Creamy Date Coffee Breakfast Smoothie

 

If in a hurry and in need of something substantial look no further then this powerful smoothie. Although it has all the elements of breakfast in a glass; at times I have easily assembled this smoothie midday when pressed for time and all efforts have gone out the window.

Serves 2 to 3 

1 cup black coffee, cooled

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional

1/2 teaspoon pure maple extract

handful of ice cubes (approximately 5 - 6)

Place all the ingredients into a blender, secure the lid on, set to high speed and blend until smooth.

Once blended, taste and adjust according to your taste, by either adding more milk to thin out the smoothie or more dates for added sweetness.
