Coffee, Banana, & Chocolate Smoothie

sunshinesmoothie 1

I’ve been subsisting mostly on smoothies lately, particularly this smoothie. Frozen bananas, almond milk, coffee ice cubes, and a tablespoon of hot chocolate mix. The perfect midday pick me up. Filling enough to count as an afternoon snack (thanks, bananas!), sweet enough to feel like a treat, and with the added bonus of a jolt of caffeine.

On afternoons when I’m especially dragging I’ll swap half of the almond milk out for half a cup of coffee (or a shot of espresso), which brings this to an entirely new level. Like my preschool students whose parents were saavy enough to convince them that smoothies were ice cream, this feels like I’m treating myself to something truly decadent, but mostly it’s just bananas. The best kind of decadence.

6 coffee ice cubes
3 frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
1 cup almond milk
1 tbsp hot chocolate mix

Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Serve immediately, chilled. Alternatively, spoon this into a dish and refreeze for a smooth banana ice cream treat.
