Mocha Morning Buzz

This chilled chocolatey smoothie version of your morning cuppa will keep you full and energised all morning - plus it tastes delicious!

Ingredients

3–5 soft dates, pitted
2 teaspoons Cacao Powder
3 tablespoons rolled oats (choose certified gluten-free if allergic)
250 ml (1 cup) unsweetened plant milk
1–2 shots espresso (approx. 2–4 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon cold-pressed coconut oil
2 ice cubes

Method

Put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on a high speed until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust the sweetness and coffee flavour to your liking by adding more dates, espresso or milk, if necessary.
Pour into one medium-sized glass or cup (as featured in the photo) and enjoy right away. The swirl in the photo is simply a splash of extra plant milk stirred with a spoon.
