Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats**
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp. natural almond butter***
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk****
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- The night before, add all ingredients to the bowl of your blender and give it a stir to ensure that everything is well combined. Cover and place in fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- The next morning, blend until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached, adding more milk if smoothie is too thick. Transfer back to a bowl or glass, add desired toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
1) Cook time refers to chilling time.
2) Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need this to be gluten-free. You can also reduce the oats to ⅓ cup and add a scoop of your favourite protein powder.
3) I used almond because it has a sweet and mild taste. Feel free to use your favourite nut/seed butter, but the flavour might shine through a little.
4) If smoothie is too thick, add a few extra splashes of milk to the blender.
