My good friend Chevette tipped me off to this recipe (thanks Chevette!). I’m not a coffee drinker AT ALL but this smoothie is delicious with just a hint of coffee flavor. I enjoyed mine in a coffee cup
1/2 can organic coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 tablespoons organic cocoa powder
2 packets Stevia (or adjust to your taste)
3-5 organic coffee beans (if you have a powerful blender like a Vita-mix, you can just throw them in…otherwise grind with a coffee grinder or small spice grinder)
1/2 cup ice
OPTIONAL: for an extra healthy boost, you can add greens powder, fresh greens, or cabbage
Blend everything up until frothy and the coffee beans and ice are incorporated.
Enjoy!
PS – People always ask me if coffee is OK…my answer is that coffee, in moderation, is OK. However, everyone’s definition of moderation is different. 1 cup of coffee a day would be moderate. Obviously, organic is better than regular and stay away from decaffinated (dangerous processing) and instant coffee.
The only caveat to that is that we never want to see anyone “addicted” or “slave to” any food or substance. You never want to have to rely on something like caffeine to get started in the morning. If you feel like you HAVE to have your coffee in order to make it through the day, that is more of an addiction and should be overcome.
