Which Coffee Can Be Used For Making The Smoothie? 

• Use instant coffee powder for making oatmeal coffee smoothies like me for comfort.
• Brew some coffee in a pot, let it cool to room temperature, and use 1/2 cup of brewed coffee ½ cup of milk while blending the smoothie for 2 servings. 
• Store some homemade coffee in the refrigerator and use it as you need for busy mornings for upto 4-5 days. 
• Pour some room temperature coffee in an ice tray and put it into the freezer. Once the ice cubes are formed transfer them to a freezer safe bag or to a container. Use 2 cubes per serving or more for a stronger coffee flavor. 

How And Why To Freeze Bananas?

• Freeze the riper bananas by slicing them into small pieces. Line a tray with parchment paper and line up banana pieces in a single layer, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze them for 2 hours. Transfer them to a freezer safe container and store until ready to use. You can freeze peeled whole bananas as well, just thaw them for 30 seconds and slice them up before adding them to the smoothie.

• You can use freshly chopped bananas as well if you have not frozen them in advance. Add a few ice cubes while blending the smoothie. 

• Frozen bananas will help keep your smoothie thick and frosty for a long time.

Oatmeal Coffee Smoothie Step By Step Recipe

Blending The Smoothie

In a large blending jar, combine all the ingredients and blend for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. Feel free to add some more milk to thin the smoothie. 

Decorating And Serving 

Add 1 tbsp water in the mason jar or a tall serving glass. 

Shake the water and throw it away. Now, sprinkle some instant coffee granules and gently shake it. 

Store it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes. Next pour the smoothie into the serving glass or mason jar. 

Sprinkle some oats, chia seeds, and some instant coffee for garnishing if you like. 

Tips For Making Oatmeal Coffee Smoothie

• Use a good quality high-power blender like Vitamix, Blendtec, or NutriBullet. You will achieve a perfectly blended and smooth smoothie every time.
• If you don’t own a high-power blender, you may need to add more milk to make a perfectly blended smoothie. 
• Run your blender for a long time to achieve a smoother consistency if you aren’t using a high-power blender.
• Always use frozen fruits and vegetables for making the smoothie as they help to keep the smoothie cold and thick for a long time. 

Variations

• I have used 1% milk in the recipe but you can use almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk for this recipe. 
• If you find the smoothie is quite thick for you, add some milk to thin it. I like my smoothies thick.
• You can use freshly chopped bananas as well if you have not frozen them in advance. Add a few ice cubes while blending the smoothie.
• I have used instant coffee in the recipe but you may use ¼ cup room temperature brewed coffee per serving. 
• Add around 1 tsp of cocoa powder in the recipe to make it an oatmeal mocha smoothie.
• I have used ½ scoop Vanilla protein powder, you can use 1 scoop per serving as well but make sure to add ⅓ cup additional milk in the recipe. 
• If the smoothie doesn’t taste sweet enough for your liking, you can add 1 tsp honey, maple syrup, or 1 medjool date. 
• Feel free to add 1-2 tsp hemp seeds into your smoothie to add some healthy fats. 
• Add some almond butter instead of peanut butter in the recipe.

How To Store Oatmeal Coffee Smoothies?

Oatmeal coffee smoothie can be stored in a mason jar with an airtight lid for 2-3 hours in a refrigerator.

If you’d like to store the smoothie for a longer time, transfer each serving to a freezer safe bag and store them for about 2 months. Remove a bag from the freezer, thaw it over the counter for 20-30 minutes, and enjoy!
