Notes
- To make blending easier, arrange the liquids and soft components closest to the blades, followed by the frozen items. It works best to utilize frozen bananas that have been thinly sliced (as opposed to larger chunks) if you’re using a lower-speed blender.
Modify the consistency by adding a small amount additional plant-based milk if it’s too thick. Add more oats, frozen bananas, or ice if it’s too thin.
To quickly cool hot coffee, consider putting it in the freezer for 20 minutes or so.
