Aimee’s chicory coffee smoothie blends the robust flavor of chicory coffee with the natural sweetness of cherries and the creamy richness of almonds – a lovely fusion of banana, cherries, almond milk, and vanilla protein powder, all enhanced by a touch of almond butter. You can also use regular or decaffeinated coffee. Serve it over ice for a cool, invigorating treat that’s perfect for breakfast, a post-workout boost, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Serves 1-2 


  • 1/2 banana
  • 75 grams frozen or fresh cherries
  • 60 grams hot water
  • 2 tsp dandelion or chicory coffee
    (coffee works well here too, as does decaf and cold brew)
  • 120 grams almond milk
  • 30 grams vanilla protein powder
  • 10 grams almond butter

  • to make it sweeter: 1-2 drops of liquid stevia or maple 

Method

  1. Brew up the chicory or dandelion coffee, mixing well. Or brew regular coffee as usual.
  2. Leave on the side while you add everything else to a hi-speed blender. 
  3. While your smoothie is blending, slowly pour in the coffee. 
  4. Serve over ice.
