If you watched my FB live last week, you’ll know that I interviewed Entrepreneur and Founder of Koita plant-based milk products, Mustafa Koita. Based in Dubai and speaking to us live from there, he goes on to tell us about his journey from software sales at Boeing to starting this company. After multiple attempts at other businesses, he decided to make the official leap to full-time entrepreneur and start his company, Koita. In doing so, he is now bringing plant-based nut milks to people all over the world, including the UAE and now the United States. Listen to the entire interview at the video.
To shop Koita plant-based products, we’ve got you covered in my online shop. Each Koita product is an Amazon affiliate for me, which means that your purchase will provide a small commission to me, which helps me to keep the recipes and stories coming to you through this website.
For those of you who saw my video interview with Mustafa Koita, Entrepreneur and Founder of Koita foods (plant-based nut milks), you may have watched till the end when I made this pretty tasty smoothie that contains the Koita Oat Milk product and just a few other things. Here’s the recipe all laid out and a few notes on the substitutions at the end.
To a blender, add the banana and pour in the Koita Oat Milk. Add the tahini and mix well on high. Add the Medjool date and almonds and mix again on the highest setting to finely chop and blend both ingredients.
Pour into one tall glass or two small cups and garnish with chopped pistachios, if desired.
NOTES
Try to consume this drink soon after making it, as refrigerating it may not taste as good since the banana is quick to degrade.
If you require a little more sweetener to this drink, you can add about 1/2 teaspoon honey or grape molasses (will change the color slightly). (The honey would make this smoothie vegetarian instead of vegan).
For a different topping, you can garnish with any type of chopped nut or coconut flakes and it would be equally delish!
