- 1 tsp maple syrup

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including milk, brewed coffee, yogurt, oats, almond butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and optional ice cubes to ensure a smooth blending process.
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients into a blender, ensuring the mixture has the right balance of liquids and solids for easy blending.
- Pulse to Mix: Pulse the blender lightly to briefly combine all ingredients without fully blending, helping to break down larger pieces.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until the consistency is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a small splash of milk and blend again to reach your preferred thickness.
Notes
- Use brewed coffee cooled to room temperature or cold for best flavor and to prevent melting the ice faster.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and milk with almond or oat milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Oats give the smoothie a thicker and more filling texture; soak them briefly for a smoother blend.
- Ice cubes are optional if you prefer a chilled smoothie.
