Mocha Coffee Smoothie Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

1 cup Brewed coffee (chilled or frozen into ice cubes for a thicker texture)
½ cup Milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat work great)
1 scoop Chocolate protein powder (or 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder + a sweetener)
½ Frozen banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)
1 handful Ice cubes (adjust based on desired thickness)
Optional: 1 tbsp Almond butter for extra richness

Prep the Coffee: If you have time, freeze your coffee in an ice cube tray ahead of time. This prevents the smoothie from getting “watered down” by regular ice.
Combine: Add the liquid (coffee and milk) to your blender first, followed by the protein powder, frozen banana, and ice.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with a few whole coffee beans (like in your photo) or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Sweetness: If it’s not sweet enough, add a teaspoon of honey or a pitted date before blending.
Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add more frozen banana or ice.
Energy Boost: Add a teaspoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats.
