But busy mornings happen. We rush out the door, sometimes skipping breakfast or coffee and finding ourselves in a rut of frustration or angry hunger. No good! For those mornings, convenience is key. Smoothies are a great way to pack a satisfying and nutritious breakfast into a simple, portable package. But, that doesn’t solve the problem of needing to carry coffee in the other hand, or making a pit-stop for an overpriced cup on your way.
Enter the breakfast mocha smoothie: a balanced breakfast and caffeine boost all in one. Our nourishing breakfast smoothie is inspired by the flavors in one of our newest bar flavors, Double Chocolate Mocha because coffee is great, but chocolate and coffee together is better.
With a base of bananas, whole-grain oats, Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter and chia seeds, this smoothie delivers a balance of lasting energy, with satiating healthy fats and a boost of plant-based protein. Feel free to use decaffeinated coffee if desired and adjust more or less to your taste preference. This is also a great way to use up leftover coffee from the day before and reduce waste.
