- Pulse Lightly: Pulse the blender a few times lightly to mix and break down ingredients slightly.

Notes
- Use cold brewed coffee for a more intense coffee flavor and to keep the smoothie chilled without ice.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup to adjust sweetness.
- Almond butter adds protein and healthy fats, but peanut butter can be used as an alternative.
- Oats help create a creamy texture and add fiber to keep you full longer.
- For a vegan version, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut yogurt and almond milk.
