Instructions

Add the milk, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana, rolled oats, and fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk. If too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen banana and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
