Equipment

Blender

Ingredients

1-1½ cup plant-based milk I used oat milk from Oatly
3 tbsp rolled oats
1 cup frozen mango
2 tbsp raw cacao powder cocoa powder works too
sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, dates) optional, to taste

Instructions

Add the rolled oats to your blender and then pour the milk over (start with 1 cup). Make sure all the oats are covered and let them soak for about 5-15 minutes. Then, blend until smooth. Soaking the oats, even for a short period of time, helps blend them to a super smooth consistency.
Add the cacao powder and frozen mango to the blender and blend again until smooth.
Then taste the smoothie mixture and see if it needs a little sweetener. You can also add more milk to make the smoothie thinner as needed.
Pour in a serving glass and garnish with more cacao powder or shaved chocolate. Enjoy right away!

Notes

Try not to skip soaking the oats. Even 5 minutes makes a difference in creating a smoothie that's really smooth.
