Ingredients
COCONUT MILK ICE CUBES
- 2/3 cup coconut milk, frozen into standard ice cubes (use light for lower fat // use coconut cream or full fat for richer, creamier smoothie // freeze extra for future use!)
SMOOTHIE
- 1/2 cup cold brew coffee (decaf as needed // if avoiding coffee, sub 1-2 tsp Dandy Blend as original recipe is written — adjust amount as needed)
- 1 small ripe banana, previously peeled, sliced, and frozen (make sure not to add too much or the banana flavor can be overwhelming)
- 5-6 tandard-size coconut milk ice cubes (see instructions above)
- 1 ½ tsp cacao powder
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (or sub other sweetener to taste)
FOR SERVING optional
- cacao nibs
Instructions
- DAY BEFORE: Begin by pouring coconut milk of choice into an ice cube tray and freezing until firm (about 6 hours or overnight). Also be sure to peel, thinly slice, and freeze bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate the night before as well.Also prep your cold brew coffee the day before. Do so by grinding 1 cup of coffee into a semi-coarse texture (about the texture of sea salt) and topping with 2 cups of cool filtered water. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours (or overnight).
- THE DAY OF: Strain coffee through a coffee filter or very fine sieve (we prefer using a Chemex coffee brewer and paper cone filter).
- To prepare smoothie, add (filtered) cold brew coffee, frozen banana, coconut milk ice cubes, cacao powder, and maple syrup (start with smaller amount and work your way up) to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until creamy and smooth, adding more coffee or some coconut milk if it has trouble blending, being careful not to get too thin.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, coffee for stronger coffee flavor, coconut ice cubes for thicker/creamier texture, or cacao powder for stronger chocolate flavor. Top with cacao nibs (optional) and serve. Best when fresh. To save leftovers, store covered in the freezer and let thaw before eating.
