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