Costa UK Coffee, Oat & Banana Smoothie review

A smoothie would never usually be my choice of drink because I love my coffee way too much. Costa however, have cleverly come up with a smoothie that even coffee addicts such as myself can order in an attempt to get a few extra nutrients into our diet after an overly indulgent few weeks (months). This smoothie contains a whole banana, honey, coffee, oats and is made using Alpro oat milk. I am a massive fan of banana flavour products so when I saw this on offer I decided that this was a smoothie that I had to try.

The drink came and was a pale brown colour and looked pretty much like an iced latte. The smell of banana hit me straight away and there was a small layer of froth on top of the drink. I took a sip and was really impressed with the flavour of this drink. This was a predominantly banana flavoured drink with a delicious coffee taste. There were small oats throughout but they were so small they weren't too noticeable, however they did add another level to the texture of the drink. The honey flavour was very mild but did add to the overall sweetness of the drink. The oat milk was much thinner in consistency than traditional milk but it still had a creamy, almost nutty flavour that worked really well with the other ingredients of the smoothie. As a fan of coffee and banana flavoured products I thoroughly enjoyed this drink and knowing that I was getting one of my 5 a day the same time means that I can enjoy this completely guilt free. This is not like a traditional fruit smoothie but I would recommend trying it whilst it is available.
