AMARETTO CAPPUCCINO SMOOTHIE



If you are wondering if there is a way to “Maximize” an Iced Cappuccino, here it is. Sometimes, I impress myself.

Ingredients:3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 scoop Chocolate Organic Whey Protein
1 teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder
1 tablespoon “Spoonable” brand stevia, or equivalent, or to taste
1 teaspoon raw almond butter
4 strong coffee “ice cubes”

Preparation:1) AHEAD OF TIME: Prepare an ice cube tray with strong coffee and freeze. I use approximately 10 oz. of water to 3 generous teaspoons of instant espresso powder, and mix the coffee in a drinking glass before pouring it into the ice cube tray. Adjust the strength of the coffee to your taste. Once frozen, keep the coffee ice cubes in a re‐sealable plastic bag in the freezer.
2) Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
DO NOT consume after 3:00 P.M.
