I would add about 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in addition to the oats for extra nutritional benefits.

How much chia seeds would you use to replace the oats?

Glad you liked it! And thanks for your feedback on the calorie count. To clarify, the recipe make two smoothies, and the nutrition information is based on a single serving.

This is a great recipe for a morning boost and delicious for my cut. My only concern is that I’m not really sure how this gets down to 266 calories? Esp when considering the protein powder? I think without any sweetener this netted around 400 for me (which better serves my needs anyway) but just make sure you’re wary of the calorie count here!

So glad you enjoyed it, Marcela!

YUUUUUMMMM!
I made some slight modifications – replaced the milk with ice cubes (because my coffee was fresh and this mama was NOT going to wait for it to cool down lol), skipped the oats, went with your suggestions to add dates and chia seeds (super protein smoothie now!) and had frozen naners. DAMN this was a great lunch. Will have to make coffee tonight to save it for breakfast tomorrow, and might add peanut butter too. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!! 🙂

Wonderful – thanks so much for your reply! Can’t wait to try it.

Hi Christine, great question! It’s the concentrated version if you are using my recipe, the milk in the smoothie dilutes it down. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Dante, yes, you can use instant coffee, though you will want to replace the liquid with something, either a cup of milk or water. As far as how much, I’m not sure. I think that depends on the brand. You’d want enough to flavor an 8-ounce cup of coffee.
