Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) unsweetened soy or rice milk
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) chilled coffee (cooled espresso, brewed coffee, or coffee ice cubes)

Dairy & Alternatives

  • 3 heaped tablespoons plain unsweetened soy yogurt (or plain Greek yogurt for non-vegan)

Grains & Nuts

  • 3 tablespoons quick-cooking oats (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (unroasted cashew butter as substitute)

Flavor & Sweetener

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup (optional; can replace with agave or preferred liquid sweetener)

Optional

  • 12 ice cubes (for extra cold smoothie)
  • Frozen cauliflower (optional for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the coffee is cold or at room temperature. If using hot coffee, cool it first or use coffee ice cubes to keep the smoothie chilled.
  2. Add to Blender: Pour the milk and coffee or coffee ice cubes into a high-speed blender first to promote even blending. Then add yogurt, oats, almond butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
  3. Blend Smoothly: Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, gradually increasing speed until the mixture is smooth and the oats are finely ground, ensuring a creamy texture.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or transfer it into a to-go cup for a convenient breakfast on the move.

Notes

  • Use cooled coffee made from espresso, French press, or filter to maintain flavor and avoid warming the smoothie.
  • Frozen coffee cubes keep the smoothie ice cold without diluting flavor; prepare by freezing brewed coffee in ice trays.
  • Instant coffee dissolved in hot water can be used for convenience; make it strong for optimal taste.
  • Store-bought cold brew coffee or homemade concentrate are excellent alternatives for quick preparation.
  • Quick-cooking oats provide a smooth texture, but regular rolled oats can be used if desired.
  • Make coffee the night before and refrigerate to save time in the morning.
  • Add the liquid ingredients first in blender for even mixing and to prevent sticking.
  • Clean your blender immediately after use by blending soapy water for easy maintenance.
