This power-breakfast smoothie will be extra smooth if you soak the nuts and oats in water overnight; drain before proceeding.
1 banana, preferably frozen
2 Medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup cold-brew coffee (takes 18 - 24 hours to make)
1/4 cup raw cashews, preferably soaked overnight
3 tablespoons old-fashioned oats, preferably soaked overnight
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of ground cardamom
Pinch of kosher salt
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.
Makes about 2 cups
