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
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional; can replace with agave or preferred liquid sweetener)
Optional
- 1–2 ice cubes (for extra cold smoothie)
- Frozen cauliflower (optional for thickening)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
