Ingredients

  • 1 espresso or 2 tsp of instant coffee plus half a cup of water
  • 1 frozen banana
  • Half a cup frozen zucchini chopped
  • Half a cup plant-based milk
  • 1 Tbsp vegan vanilla flavored protein powder or sub with 1 tbsp chia, flax, or hemp seeds
  • Drops vanilla extract

Instructions

  • To make this smoothie you’ll need to brew one coffee and freeze it ahead of time in an ice cube tray.
  • Also, freeze one banana and some chopped zucchini.
  • When you’re ready to make your smoothie, add to your blender all the ingredients.
  • Blend it all together, pour it into a jar, and enjoy this iced coffee in the form of a nutty and rich smoothie.

Notes

Make sure you go for one that tastes good, as vegan protein powders aren’t always very pleasant.
If you don’t have protein powder on hand, add some chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds and a few drops of vanilla extract.
