Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 banana
- Ice cubes (to taste)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee. Allow it to cool to room temperature to avoid melting the ice cubes too quickly in the shake.
- In a blender, combine the cooled brewed coffee with one scoop of chocolate protein powder. This will give your shake a rich chocolate flavor while boosting its protein content.
- Add one tablespoon of cocoa powder to the blender. This will enhance the chocolate taste and provide additional antioxidants.
- Peel one ripe banana and break it into smaller pieces before adding it to the blender. The banana will add natural sweetness and creaminess to your shake.
- Add ice cubes to the blender. The amount can vary based on your preference for thickness and chilliness. A good starting point is about a cup of ice cubes.
- Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps from the protein powder or cocoa.
- Taste the shake and adjust sweetness if necessary. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little honey or a sweetener of your choice and blend again.
- Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the shake into a glass. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few chocolate shavings on top for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and energizing Caffe Mocha Power Shake!
Tips
- Coffee Selection: Choose a high-quality coffee that you love, as its flavor will significantly impact the taste of your shake. Experiment with different roasts to find your perfect match!
- Chill the Coffee: To avoid diluting your shake, let the brewed coffee cool to room temperature before adding it to the blender. This ensures that your shake remains thick and frosty.
- Banana Ripeness: Use a ripe banana for optimal sweetness and creaminess. The more speckles on the banana's skin, the sweeter it will be!
- Protein Powder: Feel free to use your favorite chocolate protein powder, whether it's whey, plant-based, or casein. Each will give a unique flavor and texture to your shake.
- Adjust Sweetness: Always taste your shake before serving. If it’s not sweet enough for your liking, add a drizzle of honey or a splash of maple syrup and blend again.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your shake by garnishing it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or even a dollop of whipped cream for a dessert-like finish.
- Make It Your Own: Customize your shake by adding other ingredients like nut butter, oats, or even a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without compromising taste!
- Storage Tip: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before enjoying it again!
