- 1 cup Ice Cubes (Helps chill the smoothie)

Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew your coffee using your preferred method and let it cool slightly to room temperature or cooler to prevent melting the ice too quickly.

- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the cooled brewed coffee, banana, Greek yogurt, rolled oats, milk, honey or maple syrup, and cocoa powder into the blender in preparation for blending.
- Add Ice Cubes: Add the ice cubes to the blender to chill the smoothie and give it a refreshing texture.
- Blend Smoothie: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness as desired by adding more honey, milk, or ice according to your preference.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses and add optional toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and presentation. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt to make it dairy-free.
- Use cold brewed coffee to reduce bitterness and enhance the coffee flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- For a thicker smoothie, add more banana or oats; for a thinner one, add more milk.
- Optional toppings add texture and flavor but can be omitted for a simpler smoothie.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the flavor and texture.
