Ingredients
1 cup black coffee, cooled or cold-brew
1 cup unsweetened almond milk, chilled
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 large banana, frozen
3 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
5–6 ice cubes
Instructions
Add the cooled black coffee and chilled almond milk into your blender canister.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, banana, oats, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
Secure the lid tightly.
Pulse the mixture three times to break up the dates and banana.
Increase the speed to high and blend for 45 seconds until creamy.
Taste the consistency and adjust with extra almond milk if needed.
Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats if you have sensitivities. Freezing the banana ahead of time is essential for a thick, velvety texture. You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container, though it is best enjoyed fresh.
