Mocha Maca Banana Smoothie
Ingredients
| 1 heaping tsp | organic instant coffee | |
| 2 tsp | 10 ml | cocoa or cacao powder (or see variation) |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | boiling water |
| 2 | frozen bananas, broken into chunks | |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | vanilla almond milk, sweetened or not |
| 1 to 2 tbsp | 15–30 ml | maca powder |
| 1 pinch | cinnamon | |
| — | liquid sweetener (agave, stevia, maple syrup, etc.), optional, to taste | |
| — | ice for serving, optional |
Instructions
- Combine the instant coffee and cocoa powder in a mug of boiling water and stir to dissolve. Pour this mixture into a blender.
- Add the bananas, almond milk, maca powder, and cinnamon and process until completely smooth.
- Divide between two glasses. Taste to see if you'd like a little more sweetener, and/or thin with a little more almond milk if too thick.
- Add ice to the beverage if you'd like to enjoy it very cold, and serve at once.
Variation: If you have a high-speed blender, use 4 squares of bittersweet chocolate instead of the cocoa powder.
