Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole organic milk
  • 1/4 or more cup leftover black coffee
  • 1 scoop grass fed chocolate protein powder
  • 5-6 cubes of ice less if using frozen banana
  • 1/2 frozen banana optional; gives creamy texture; adds a bit of banana flavor
  • 1-2 brazil nuts
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Blend on high until smooth.
  • I use my Vitamix's 'smoothie' setting.
  • If you like it more slushy, just use more ice.

Notes

Add ins:
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1 cup washed spinach (will change the color of your smoothie but you will NOT detect the taste; this is true for adding spinach to most smoothies)
