Almond Coffee Green Smoothie |
I've been into green smoothies since we returned from our last vacation where we totally overindulged! I'll give you my regular green smoothie recipe soon. This one was born from a need for some caffeine and breakfast one busy morning. I wanted my smoothie and my coffee simultaneously. Throw this in a travel cup and you've got breakfast and coffee to go! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Almond Coffee Green Smoothie
5 ice cubes
2/3 C. unsweetened almond milk
1/8 C. whole raw almonds (about 12-18), optional
1 C. baby spinach
1 1/2 t. instant espresso (or instant coffee)
1/2 t. stevia or 1 packet (or your favorite sweetener)
1/2 of a frozen banana
Blend all ingredients in a blender on liquify, or highest speed, until smooth. Serves one large or two small servings.
Notes:
- I'm not a fan of instant coffee...at all...but, Cafe Bustelo Instant Espresso is so good, made by the cup, you would hardly know it is instant. My Mom turned me on to it. That's what I use in this recipe.
- I like the texture that the raw almonds add to this, but you can absolutely omit them.
