INSTRUCTIONS

1. 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).

2. Place the oats, banana, maca powder, cashew nuts, 1 tbsp of the toasted coconut, and the ½ cup of cold coconut milk into your smoothie maker or blender (don't add any hot liquid to your smoothie maker or blender).

3. Blend on high for a minute until the oats and have been completely incorporated (add and extra splash of cold coconut milk or water if it's looking too thick to blend properly).
