Just to prove how flexible smoothies are, variations on this nut butter and espresso smoothie recipe abound across the internet and the world. And no wonder, because it tastes so good! (The details of this particular recipe are at the end of the post.)
It’s great as a WAKE-ME-UP! breakfast smoothie – all that caffeine from the espresso and cocoa! But it’s also great as a healthy snack in the mid afternoon when you feel sleepy after lunch. It has protein and healthy fats in the nut butter balancing out the sweetness from the fruit.

Recipe: Nut Butter Espresso Smoothie
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Almond Milk, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup Espresso, cold
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1/2 Banana, frozen
- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder* OR 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon natural Peanut Butter
* If you do not want to use protein powder then 1/4 cup oats has similar number of calories, is more filling and contains soluble fiber so is good for your digestion. If using oats then it’s ‘plus’ cocoa not ‘or’.
Blend until smooth, drink and wake up, lol!
