Description

Ingredients

• 2 large or 4 small chunks white Chocolate
• 2 + ½ cups fresh Coconut milk (the refrigerated kind such as Apro – as opposed to canned coconut milk)
• 6 tbsp Oats
• 1 ripe Banana (the riper the better)
• 2 tsp Maca powder (optional)
• 20 Cashew nuts
• 2 tbsp Toasted coconut (simply place unsweetened coconut flakes in a hot oven for 1 minute to brown - but be careful, they burn quickly)

Directions

• Add the white chocolate to a jug, and pour in 2 cups of the coconut milk. Microwave until the mixture is hot and the chocolate has melted (you can do this in a pan if you prefer).
• Place the oats, banana, maca powder, cashew nuts, 1 tbsp of the toasted coconut, and the ½ cup of cold coconut milk into your smoothie maker or blender (dont add any hot liquid to your smoothie maker or blender).
• Blend on high for a minute until the oats and have been completely incorporated (add and extra splash of cold coconut milk or water if its looking too thick to blend properly).
• Divide the blended oat mixture between two cups and stir in the hot milk/chocolate mix. Top with the remaining toasted coconut and serve.
