Description

This mocha smoothie blends the bold flavor of coffee with rich cocoa and creamy banana for a deliciously energizing treat. It’s perfect as a quick breakfast, post-workout snack, or afternoon pick-me-up—cool, refreshing, and naturally sweetened.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • ½ cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup ice cubes


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the banana, coffee, milk, cocoa powder, nut butter (if using), sweetener, vanilla extract, and ice to a blender.
  2. Blend: Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all components are fully combined.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Give the smoothie a taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or honey to your preference.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie immediately into a tall glass and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
  • Use decaf coffee if you’re avoiding caffeine.
  • Oat milk or almond milk are great dairy-free options.
