Step 1: Prepping the Ingredients

• Measure 4 tbsp. of rolled oats and place them in your blender.
• Peel the banana, slice it into chunks, and add it to the blender.
• Measure out 1 ½ cups of unsweetened almond milk.

Step 2: Adding the Liquid

• Pour the almond milk over the oats and banana in the blender. Almond milk provides a creamy consistency with minimal impact on blood sugar.

Step 3: Adding Flavor and Nutrients

• Add 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder for a dash of sweetness and vital protein.
• Sprinkle in 2 tsp. of instant coffee powder for a bold coffee flavor.
• Include 2 tsp. of natural cocoa powder. It’s antioxidant-rich and complements the chocolate protein powder.
• Toss in 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds for healthy fats and texture.

Step 4: Blending to Perfection

• Secure the lid on your blender and blend on the lowest setting to break down the ingredients smoothly. Gradually increase the speed to high.
• Blend for 30–45 seconds until the texture is creamy, with no lumps. Pro tip: If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a splash of water or more almond milk.

Step 5: Serving and Enjoying

• Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass and garnish! A light sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few extra hemp seeds adds a touch of visual appeal.
• Serve immediately, sip slowly, and savor the creamy, indulgent flavor.
