Ingredients
– 3/4 cup strong coffee (cold or cooled to room temperature)
– 1/3 cup milk (coconut milk, cow’s milk, or almond milk)
– 1 large banana
– 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
– 8 ounces Greek yogurt (coffee flavored, plain, or vanilla)
– 1 to 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
– 3 to 4 ice cubes (optional, depending on desired coldness/thickness)
– 2 chopped espresso beans (optional topping)
– 1/2 ounce chopped dark chocolate (optional topping)
Instructions
1-First Step: Make your strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature (or use cold coffee). This keeps your shake smooth instead of turning gritty or slightly warm.
2-Second Step: Add the cooled coffee, milk (coconut milk, cow’s milk, or almond milk), and the banana to your blender. Blend for about 15 to 20 seconds to break down the banana well.
3-Third Step: Add the cocoa powder and Greek yogurt (coffee flavored, plain, or vanilla). Then blend another 20 to 30 seconds until the color looks evenly mocha-brown.
4-Fourth Step: If you want your Mocha Breakfast Shake thicker and colder, toss in 3 to 4 ice cubes and blend again for 10 to 15 seconds. If you prefer it thinner, skip the ice cubes or add fewer.
5-Fifth Step: Taste and adjust sweetness. If you’re using honey, start with 1 teaspoon, blend briefly, then add up to 2 teaspoons total if you want it sweeter.
6-Final Step: Pour into glasses and top with optional chopped espresso beans (2) and optional chopped dark chocolate (1/2 ounce). Serve right away for the best texture.
