This power-breakfast smoothie will be extra smooth if you soak the nuts and oats in water overnight; drain before proceeding.

Using smoothie or ice crush setting, purée banana, dates, coffee, cashews, oats, cocoa powder, cardamom, salt, and ½ cup ice in a blender until smooth.

Back to TopMy husband and I love this smoothie. We’ve made this for years. Using bananas that are just barely ripe gives less banana flavor. I use a powerful blender that makes this very smooth even if I forget to pre soak the cashews and oats.

This was ok but I was disappointed. I thought it would have a stronger coffee/chocolate taste. I did find that while the banana flavor seemed strong at first sip, it dissipated as I continued drinking the smoothie and my taste buds acclimated. I was not bothered by the texture that the oatmeal added.

I wasn't a fan. The banana flavor was very strong and the oatmeal created a grainy texture even with the pre-soak. I don't think it's worth the trouble of having to think ahead the night before and set out the cashews and oatmeal to soak.

Delicious! This is now one of my favorite smoothies. I didn't think there would be enough liquid to make this work, but there absolutely was. I didn't bother to soak the oats or the cashews.

Insanely delicious. It was easy to make the cold brewed coffee in the french press the night before. I used almonds because I didn't have cashews, decreased the coffee (but I had made it very strong) and added a touch of almond milk. Add a bit of protein powder if you'd like.
