Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (option to use water to lower the calories)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 dates (pitted)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed
  • 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter

Optional Substitutions:

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (replaces the dates for less sugar and extra healthy fats)
  • 1 tbsp hemp seeds (high in fiber and Omega-3s that can replace the chia seeds)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (high in fiber and Omega-3s with a unique taste that can replace the flaxseed)

Instructions

  • Add Dry Ingredients: Using a Smootheeze half-cup silicone freezer tray, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and flaxseed into one cube.
  • Settle the Mix: Gently tap the tray on the counter to help the dry ingredients settle into place.
  • Add the Liquid: Pour your liquid (milk or water) into the cube, ensuring all dry ingredients are soaked. Add a splash more if needed to ensure the mixture is completely saturated for a clean freeze.
  • Add the Dates or Walnuts: Roughly chop the 2 pitted dates or walnuts if using, and place them on top of the mixture.
  • Add the Nut Butter: Spread the tablespoon of peanut or almond butter over the top. This acts as a "seal" to hold the ingredients together. Top with more liquid if there is any free space.
  • Freeze: Repeat for as many portions as you’d like (up to 9 using the Smootheeze tray), then cover and freeze overnight.
  • Add to a Smoothie: When you're ready for your smoothie, simply pop one frozen Smootheeze Shot into the blender with your usual fruit and liquid!

Notes

For the best results, use Smootheeze Freezer Trays to batch-prep a week's worth of these boosters at once. One 1/2 cup cube contains approximately 430 calories, 12g of protein, and 14g of fiber—the perfect nutritional insurance policy for any smoothie.
