Equipment

Blender

Ingredients

½ cup oat milk
½ cup cold brew coffee
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 Medjool date (pitted)
1 ½ frozen bananas (sliced)

Instructions

Put oat milk, coffee, vanilla protein powder, hemp seeds, Medjool date, and frozen bananas into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

Choose ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Signs of a ripe banana include a yellow peel with a few brown spots and a sweet smell.
To increase the caffeine content, use ¼ oat milk and ¾ coffee.
Instead of a Medjool date, you can use 1 tablespoon date syrup or maple syrup.
You can leave out the sweetener for a less sweet drink.
For a thicker drink, add a few ice cubes or extra frozen banana slices.
If you have leftover smoothie, store it in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Keep it in an airtight jar so it stays fresh.
