1 cup of brewed coffee (cooled)
1 banana (fresh or frozen)
1 scoop of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tablespoon of sweetener (optional)
Brew your coffee the night before if you want to save time. Let it cool to room temperature or refrigerate it for a chilled smoothie.
In a blender, combine the coffee, banana, protein powder, cocoa powder, milk, and sweetener if using. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sweetener and blend briefly. You can also add more cocoa for additional chocolate flavor.
Pour into a glass, garnish with cocoa powder if desired, and enjoy your delicious, creamy mocha protein smoothie right away!
