This chilled smoothie take on a cappuccino is sweetened with dates, and the rolled oats keeps you fuller for longer.
Serves : 1
Nut-free
Ingredients:-
3-5 soft dates, pitted
2 teaspoons cacao powder
3 tablespoons rolled oats (choose certified gluten-free if allergic)
250ml (1/2 fl oz / 1 cup) unsweetened plant milk
1-2 shots espresso (approximately 2-4 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon cold-pressed coconut oil
2 ice cubes
Method:
Put the ingredients in a blender and blast on a high speed until smooth.
