In a quest to find a more decadent way to enjoy cold brew, we created this show-stopping 5-ingredient smoothie that’s naturally sweetened, customizable, and reminiscent of a chocolate coffee milkshake. Swoon! Let us show you how it’s done. It starts with freezing coconut milk into ice cubes. This helps give the smoothie a thick, luxurious texture. The cold brew coffee can also be made in advance to save time. Or opt for store-bought cold brew for an even quicker shortcut! Once the coconut milk ice cubes are frozen, they are added to a high-speed blender along with the coffee. Banana is added for sweetness and a creamy texture, but avoid adding too much as it can make the banana flavor too overwhelming. The coffee should be the prominent flavor here. Cacao powder adds a hint of mocha flavor and maple syrup enhances the sweetness of the banana while balancing the bitterness of the coffee and cacao. For serving, we like to sprinkle with cacao nibs for a little crunch. Coconut whipped cream would be another delicious option! We hope you LOVE this smoothie! It’s:CreamyNaturally sweetCoffee-infusedChocolatyCustomizable& Super delicious! It’s the perfect afternoon pick-me-up, indulgent snack, or healthier dessert (we recommend decaf or Dandy Blend if enjoying later in the day). If you try this recipe, let us know!
