If you’ve never tried a hot smoothie before, now is the time!
The cold weather is starting to draw in (at least in the U.K.), and I don’t know about you, but I have zero motivation to start my morning off with an icy cold smoothie! I love hot smoothies, and I make lots of variations – Mocha Oat, apple & elder flower, I even make a hot green smoothie (and no, it doesn’t taste like soup!). They’re warm and comforting, but can be packed full of nutrients too.
This version is so good for you – oats, nuts, maca powder (that’s optional, but adds a mild butterscotch taste), banana, coconut and coconut milk. There’s also just a little bit of chocolate in there to add a touch of sweetness. It’s so smooth and creamy that you’ll feel like you’re drinking something sinful!
Before you jump in to make one of these yummy breakfast smoothies, please note that for this recipe, I don’t add any hot liquids to my smoothie maker.
Most of the ingredients are blended cold, and the coconut milk and white chocolate is heated up separately and then mixed together at the end. It’s definitely not a good idea to add any hot liquids to your smoothie maker (it’s either going to shatter the glass (if you have a glass jug) or it’s going to come gushing out with a tonne of pressure when you open the lid after whizzing things up).
So don’t put that smoothie maker away until next Summer. I’ll be using mine right through Autumn and Winter!
Ingredients:
Makes 2 Smoothies
- 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 (simple 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 1/2 cup of cold coconut milk into your smoothie maker or blender (don’t 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 an extra splash of cold coconut milk or water if it’s 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.
What a great idea, can’t wait to give it a try!
Thanks for sharing, would love to see more adapted-to-the-cold-weather-smoothies! 🙂

I might drink mine chilled over ice because the weather is warming up here, but hot or cold I’m sure this smoothie is going to be just the ticket to get me out of bed over the holiday season – and what a perfect reward for a morning workout! Nicky you are a genius!
It seems so delicious. I will do it for my baby in the morning.
Earlier this year I gave up gluten, cheese and adopted a very low-sugar lifestyle (depending on the day of course, or the season…wow the holidays are tough). It is hard to find recipes that have all of this. I couldn’t find a sugar free white chocolate, nor any options that didn’t include sugar or even dairy (I considered chocolate-flavored creamer).
First of all, if anyone knows where to get sugar free white chocolate, I would love to know. I have searched on Google but can only find milk or dark chocolate.
I will say that I substituted vanilla and it is delicious! If you are on a low-sugar diet I recommend this delicious, warm smoothie!
Sugar free white chocolate is cacao butter, that’s what you are looking for. To make it white chocolate it is simply tempered with sugar.
I will do that! It looks so tasty! Thanks.
Holy s*** was all I could think when I saw this. I looove cashews and coconut milk. Will bookmark this and try it later for sure. Thanks for posting.
