Peanut Butter Banana Mocha Smoothie

Lately, I’ve been scrambling to get out the door in the morning to get the kids to an early swim and dive practice. However, it’s not my normal stressed out I’m going to be late for work scramble that I do during the school year, so I’ll take it! Anyway, this scramble forced me to create this new breakfast – it’s an all-in-one smoothie. Get your caffeine and breakfast in one jar!

Everyone has been raving about these almond milk cold brews from Califia Farms, and I finally picked up this mocha flavor at the grocery store last week, and it is phenomenal. IMG_4922So after I was drinking a cold brew and a smoothie at the pool the other day, I decided to just put my coffee in my smoothie. It’s like a chunky monkey smoothie, but with mocha delicious coffee and some extra cacao, because there can never be enough chocolate. Makes me feel like I’m drinking a healthier version of a frappucino.

Paleo Pear Smoothie

Sometimes I want a milkshake, so I make a creamy smoothie to satisfy my craving. Plus, pears are in season, which makes me so happy! They might replace the recent summer obsession that I had with peaches and plumcots.

Tips: (1) If you have an unsweetened coconut yogurt, you can add a hint of vanilla to your smoothie. (2) You need a high-powered blender like a Vitamix. If you don’t have one, then you may need to add a little dairy-free milk to make it blend well.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soaked cashews (overnight)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 ripe pear
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla coconut yogurt (I used So Delicious unsweetened vanilla)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup ice (2 handfuls)


Directions

  1. Soak your cashews overnight. It makes the smoothie creamy and is a great source of protein!
  2. Add all ingredients to your Vitamix. Purée and serve with a dash of cinnamon on top if desired.
  3. Enjoy!
