Espresso Smoothie

Sorry I’m late with Wednesday smoothie, I was busy prepping for a vegetarian Chinese New Year dinner tonight.

But here is my new favorite smoothie, I got hubby’s thumb’s up for this too! And he’s a picky customer. 😉 He’s not typically a fan of my green smoothies.

Espresso 1

Ingredients:

• 1 shot of espresso
• 5 dates, pitted(I like to soak them over-night in the espresso for flavor and to soften them up a bit)
• 1 t of Chia Seeds
• 1 Cup of Coconut milk
• handful of ice cubes

Blend for a nice treat!

Here is my second “greener version”

Green Caffeine Machine

• 1 shot of espresso
• 5 dates, pitted(pre-soaked in the espresso)
• 1 t of raw cocoa powder(I used Nua)
• 1/2 t of cinnamon(I threw the cinnamon & cocoa powder in with the espresso and dates to pre-soak overnight)
• 1 t of Chia seeds
• 1.5 C of Coconut Milk
• 1-2 handfuls of spinach
• 1 t of Ultimate Green Powder
• handful of ice

Blend! You should still find the taste of espresso with everything healthy masked under it. Hubby didn’t even know it was good for him!
