— Like a Mocha Milkshake That Works Hard

This Mocha Smoothie is everything you love about a café mocha—bold coffee, smooth chocolate, creamy texture—but with the added benefit of clean protein and real-food ingredients.

It’s cold, craveable, and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat, while still fueling you through your morning, workout, or afternoon crash zone.

  • ¾ cup cold brew or chilled coffee
  • ½ cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or dairy)

  • 1 scoop chocolate or mocha protein powder

  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • 1 cup ice
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances the mocha flavor)

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp chia or flaxseed

Flavor Variations

🌰 Mocha Nut Butter

🧂 Salted Mocha

Pro Tips

Final Thoughts

The Mocha Smoothie hits the sweet spot between indulgent and energizing — cold, creamy, and loaded with coffee-chocolate flavor that satisfies and fuels. It’s the kind of smoothie that feels like a treat but performs like a pre-workout.
