Almond & Dates Breakfast Smoothie with Mixed Spice Recipe
Deliciously smooth almond butter smoothie made with dairy free almond milk, filling oats and warming mixed spice. Great for breakfast on the go or after workout drink.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oats regular or gluten free oats
- 50 ml boiling water 2-3 tablespoons just to cover the oats
- 250 ml almond milk or other type of milk of your choice
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 2-3 dates (pitted) use less to reduce sugar
- tiny pinch of salt
- pinch of warming mixed spice (or just cinnamon or nutmeg)
Instructions
- Add the oats in to a blender or a suitable blender container.
- Boil water and add just enough to cover the oats. If you have the time, leave it for a while. You can also do this the night before. This will soften the oats and makes them easier to digest.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend together until smooth.
- Taste and make adjustments (e.g. add an extra date if you think your smoothie is not sweet enough or add more spice if you like)
- Drink straight away or store in the fridge for max of 6-12 hrs.
