This homemade Coffee Smoothie recipe is such a delicious and refreshing way to start the day! Elevate your morning cup of joe with a tempting, nutritious smoothie that includes vitamins, nutrients, healthy fats, fiber, and a boost of caffeine. Full of sweet chocolate mocha flavor, it’s a quick breakfast you’ll find yourself making again and again.

The Best Coffee Smoothie Recipe!

Who doesn't love a quick breakfast that makes mornings easy? One that also satisfies hunger, tastes great, and contains simple ingredients you may likely already have on hand. This quick coffee banana smoothie checks all the boxes.

Made with just a handful of ingredients, it’s sweetened without any refined sugars and has an irresistible rich chocolate mocha taste. Plus, with the addition of oat flour, it’s super thick and creamy and can easily be turned into a coffee smoothie bowl, too.

You can even make it with decaf coffee so that it’s suitable for those who are sensitive to caffeine.

I’ll show you how to make it in minutes so you can whip it up in no time, no matter how crazy your mornings may be. And on those days you have a little extra time top it with fresh whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream to keep it vegan) and chocolate sauce for a real treat!

One sip of this exceptionally flavorful smoothie and you'll instantly fall in love!

Banana Almond Flax Smoothie is like dessert for breakfast and I just can't get enough of it! Once you try this smoothie you're going to have to keep an extra stock of frozen bananas on hand at all times, it's definitely a smoothie you'll want to make regularly. It has a deliciously nutty flavor and it's perfectly complimented by the sweet bananas.

No-Bake Chocolate Energy Bites

About two months ago I posted these energy bites here. Since then I've probably made them eight times because me and my kids love them so much. Today I've decided to mix things up a bit and make a decadent chocolate version. Now I'm sure I will be rotating the other kind out with these at least half of the time. They are amazing!

These remind me a lot of a no-bake cookies, but these are far healthier. It might have something to do with the fact that they don't have 2 cups of sugar and a stick of butter. So, when you get that chocolate or dessert craving, just pop of few of these and you're craving will most definitely be satisfied and you won't have to feel guilty about it. These are also perfect just for a midday snack or even a quick on the go breakfast.

If you haven't ever made energy bites yet, what better time than now? I mean these are chocolate, how could you not want them :)?
