Good Morning Coffee Smoothie

You will love this creamy coffee smoothie made with frozen bananas, almond butter, cocoa powder, and chia seeds.

In a nutshell, this creamy concoction tastes like a frosty mocha shake, only a little on the lighter side since no ice cream is involved. It’s just sweet enough and delivers a mellow coffee flavour with a chocolate undertone thanks to the addition of cocoa powder.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds.
• 1/2 cup milk.
• 2/3 cup cold brew or cold strong coffee.
• 1 ripe banana, cut into chunks and frozen.
• 1 tablespoon almond butter.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• 1 large pitted Medjool date.
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder.
• 2 ice cubes.

METHOD

1. Combine the chia seeds and milk in your blender.
2. Let it sit for 10 minutes so the seeds absorb some of the milk and soften.
3. Add the coffee, banana chunks, almond butter, vanilla extract, Medjool date, cocoa powder, and ice to the blender.
4. Start the blender on low speed and gradually increase the speed until everything blends into a creamy, smooth consistency. Be sure to scrape down the sides and run the blender again as needed.
5. Pour into your coconut bowl and enjoy.
