Yields : 1 serving

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup (300 ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 Tbsp (16 g) nut butter OR dairy-free chocolate chips*
1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup**
1/2 cup (40 g) rolled oats
2 Tbsp (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

The night before, add all ingredients (except chocolate chips, if using) to the bowl of your blender and give it a stir to ensure that everything is well combined. Cover and place in fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This step isn't absolutely necessary, but allowing the oats to soak for a few hours will make them easier to blend and give you a smoother, creamier smoothie.
