The Mocha Blend
- 1 cup Cold Brew or Chilled Coffee
- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1 Frozen Banana (for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup Milk of choice (Oat or Almond works great)
- 1 tbsp Peanut or Almond Butter
- 1 tsp Cocoa Powder (extra rich)
- Handful of Ice
Blending Instructions
- Layer Liquid First: Pour your cold brew and milk into the blender first. This ensures the protein powder doesn’t get stuck to the bottom.
- Add Solids: Throw in the frozen banana, protein powder, cocoa, and nut butter.
- Blast It: Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth.
- Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it frostier, add more ice and pulse.
- Serve: Pour into a tall glass and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few coffee beans if you’re feeling fancy!
Pro Tip: Freeze your leftover coffee into ice cubes! Using coffee cubes instead of water ice cubes prevents your smoothie from getting watered down as you drink it.
