By now you realize that I am a huge fan of smoothies. A meal in a glass is just about the best invention ever as far as I am concerned. When I am organizing I need to keep my energy up and my focus sharp. I don't have time to stop and whip up a hot meal.
This week I'm sharing a smoothie I found in a newsletter from Animal Place, one of my favorite farm sanctuary rescue groups. In fact I plan to visit them this Fall. Here's a link so you can read more about them and perhaps sign up for their weekly vegan recipe: www.AnimalPlace.org.
Doughy Morning Coffee Smoothie
Breakfast
Serves 1
Ingredients:
cup cooked oatmeal (cooled is best - otherwise, just double the ice)
1 tbsp instant espresso powder
1 cup ice
1 cup non-dairy milk of choice (I used vanilla soy)
1 tsp vanilla/hazelnut/almond extract, whatever you like! (recommended- half vanilla, half hazelnut)
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 deglet noor dates (about 1 big medjool)
Optional: cocoa powder for a morning mocha!
Blend.
Pour in a cup, and you're ready to start your morning :)
