Coconut Mocha Coffee Smoothie

Yield: 16oz

Prep Time: 8 hours

Total Time: 8 hours

Print

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ C Brewed coffee (can use decaf if you don't do caffeine)*
• 1 C full fat coconut milk
• 2 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
• 6 coffee ice cubes*
• ½ banana
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 packets of Born Sweet Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener (get your free sample here

Instructions

1. Place the brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze. The brewed coffee will make about 8 ice cubes in a standard ice cube tray. You will only use 6 of these ice cubes. Save the rest to chill your iced coffee!
2. Once the ice cubes are frozen, place all of the ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into two glasses and top with the shredded coconut and dark chocolate, if desired.

Notes

*The coffee ice cubes must be made ahead of time. I suggest brewing coffee and then freezing the night before you plan to make these coffee smoothies. The ice cubes listed in the recipe are made with the brewed coffee.
