FAQs

Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?

Yes, instant oats work fine and may blend more quickly, though rolled oats provide a slightly heartier texture.

Is this shake suitable for meal prep?

You can prep the ingredients in advance, but blend fresh for best texture. Alternatively, freeze all ingredients in a bag (except liquid) and blend when ready.

What kind of coffee works best?

Brewed espresso or strong chilled coffee works best. Cold brew is also a great option for a smoother, less acidic flavor.

Can I make this without banana?

Yes, replace banana with a few dates, a scoop of Greek yogurt, or extra oats for texture and sweetness.

How much caffeine is in this shake?

It depends on how much espresso or coffee you add. A single shot of espresso contains about 64 mg of caffeine.

Is it kid-friendly?

If you leave out the coffee, absolutely. Replace it with milk or chocolate milk for a kid-friendly version.

Can I make it sweeter?

Yes, add maple syrup, honey, agave, or a flavored protein powder to increase sweetness.

Is it vegan?

Use plant-based milk and maple syrup to keep the recipe fully vegan.

Can I serve it warm?

It’s designed to be a cold, refreshing shake. For a warm version, skip the ice and blend with hot coffee and warm milk, but be cautious blending hot liquids.

Is this shake filling?

Yes, it’s packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein, making it a great breakfast or snack on the go.
