I don’t know about you guys, but I pretty much feel like a conqueror and like I can make anything happen after a cup of coffee. This Creamy Mocha Coffee Smoothie recipe is here to make all of those feels come to life!
In other words, we’re saving time (hello 5 minutes to a deliciously healthy and coffee loaded smoothie) and adding all the delicious mocha and NESCAFÉ Clásico flavors in 3….2….1….
Ingredients for Making A Mocha Coffee Smoothie
- Unsweetened almond milk – Creamy and delicious, use more or less to reach your desired consistency
- NESCAFÉ Clásico – Smooth, creamy and the perfect coffee taste
- Banana – This gives a thick texture and sweetness to the smoothie
- Protein powder – Gives an energy boost to help start the day off right
How to Make a Healthy Coffee Smoothie
-
The night before, heat the almond milk and mix in the NESCAFÉ Clásico until uniform. Pour into an ice tray and freeze overnight.
-
In the morning, blend the banana, coffee ice cubes, and protein powder together.
-
Top with your choice of toppings (optional), serve, and enjoy!
Ideas for Toppings
I love to top my coffee smoothie with nuts, fruit or something that will give a crunch and texture, here are some ideas for your smoothie:
- Pistachios, cashews, hazelnuts will all work really well
- Coconut shavings
- Dark chocolate nibs
- Homemade granola
- Nut butter such as almond or peanut butter (this would also be delicious mixed in)
- Seeds such as chia seeds or hemp seeds
- Dried fruit such as goji berries
Adding Protein Powder to Smoothies
Adding protein powder to smoothies will give you a great energy boost for the day and helps keep you going and energized until lunchtime. I used mocha protein powder for an extra coffee hit in this smoothie it’s creamy tasting, strong and delicious but you could also use chocolate or vanilla.
