Coffee Date Smoothie

I was getting myself ready for a 12 mile canoe trip and was inspired to create this drink with a bit of a caffeine kicker.  For best results, cold brew the coffee in advance. Our recipe for cold brewed coffee is here.

Coffee Date Smoothie:
1 frozen organic banana (broken into pieces) - if using fresh add ice
4 organic dates (pitted)
1/2 cup cold brewed coffee concentrate
1 cup organic hemp milk
3 T organic quick oats (I used One Degree)
1/2 t organic cinnamon (I actually used pumpkin spice)

In a Vitamix or high speed mixer mix the ingredients in the above order from low speed to high. Spend 20-30 seconds on the highest speed. Enjoy!
