Description
🥜 Power up your day with a creamy, protein‑rich shake that fuels you with wholesome oats and nutty peanut butter.
☕ Enjoy the smooth latte‑style kick of espresso combined with natural sweetness for a balanced, energizing boost.
Ingredients
– 240 ml milk for base and to soften dates
– 3 whole pitted dates for natural sweetness
– ½ cup frozen banana slices for creaminess and a fruity twist
– ¼ cup rolled oats
– 1 rounded tablespoon creamy peanut butter
– 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or ground flaxseed (optional)
– A pinch of sea salt nibs
– A light sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions
1-First, focus on soaking and blending the base ingredients to create that smooth, creamy texture. Start by placing the milk and dates in your blender; let them sit for 5-10 minutes so the dates soften up nicely this little trick prevents any grittiness and makes everything blend like a dream. Once that’s done, add the frozen banana slices, rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, hemp seeds or flaxseed if you’re using them, and the pinch of sea salt.
2-Blend everything on high until it’s completely smooth; if you prefer a thinner shake, toss in a few ice cubes and blend again for that ideal consistency.
3-For the latte layer, grab a glass jar or shaker and mix the espresso with the vanilla extract and a handful of ice; shake it vigorously for about 1 minute until it’s frothy and chilled.
4-To assemble, fill your serving glass with fresh ice, pour in the shaken espresso-vanilla mixture, then gently add the blended shake on top.
5-Stir lightly to mix the layers, and finish off with those optional toppings like extra peanut-butter drizzle, shaved dark chocolate, or a light sprinkle of sea salt for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
🔹 Soak the dates in milk first to avoid a gritty texture.
🍌 Use frozen banana for a creamy, chilled consistency without adding extra ice.
⚡ If you prefer a caffeine‑free version, omit the espresso and increase vanilla extract for extra flavor.
