I’ve been drinking a lot less hot coffee than normal this summer. I’m not sure what it is, exactly, but I’ve been going days or weeks at a time without it. What I have been drinking every day? SMOOTHIES! Nearly every day I’ll make a smoothie, and since I still love coffee in general, this mocha maca smoothie is a darn good choice!
This smoothie is relatively straight forward: banana, dates, cinnamon, vanilla, almond butter, Pacific Foods Organic Oat Beverage, maca (woooo energy!), cacao, and COFFEE!! For the coffee, I recommend using espresso or cold brew concentrate. Depending on what consistency you prefer for your smoothies, I recommend freezing the banana and at least one of the liquids. I only used frozen banana, but I don’t mind a thinner smoothie!
Enjoy! xoxo

Delicious! I made it with coconut milk and only added one date and half a banana to cut down on sugar. Still plenty sweet. Topped with some toasted coconut flakes 🙂
