Work From Home Vegan Coffee Booster Smoothie

I guess many of my readers are currently working from home, and craving for their morning coffee ritual on their way to work ! I personally am more of a morning tea person, but then when lunch time approaches I do need my caffeine fix (usually, right now on a detox !) In any case, if you like coffee, then try this smoothie recipe. It is nutritionally balanced and will keep you fueled up for your whole morning ! Banana and nuts bring creaminess, and the coffee taste works super well with the nuts and seeds added for extra goodness. So just head over to your high speed blender, grab the ingredients listed below and make yourself a nice cuppa 🙂

INGREDIENTS

1 cup coffee (use whatever coffee you like)

1 small banana frozen and cut into chunks

1/3 cup almond milk unsweetened

2 soft dates (or more if you have a sweet tooth)

2 tbsp GF oats

2 tbsp hemp seeds

1,5 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbs flax seeds

1 tbsp pecan + 1 tbsp cashewss (ideally soaked in warm water for 30 min to help make them more tender, but not need if you have a thermomix or vitamix)

A few ice cubes (adjust to consistency you like)

Optionnal: a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla

DIRECTIONS

Put everything in your high speed blender and blend until super smooth adding more ice cubes if needed. If you want to make it thicker and eat it as a smoothie bowl, put less ice cubes and top with a few toppings (raw cacao nibs, crushed roasted nuts, granola, ..)
