Description
A light and refreshing smoothie bowl that combines the rich taste of peppermint and mocha flavors while providing essential nutrients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Frozen Banana
- 1 cup Espresso or Strong Coffee (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup Almond Milk (or Milk of Choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (or Dairy-Free Yogurt)
- Toppings (as desired): Fresh mint leaves, crushed candy canes, granola, or dairy-free whipped cream
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the frozen banana, espresso or strong coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder, almond milk, and peppermint extract. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Once your base is blended, add the Greek yogurt. Blend again until fully incorporated, yielding a creamy and thick consistency perfect for a smoothie bowl.
- Taste your smoothie mix and adjust flavors as needed. If you prefer it sweeter, add a splash of maple syrup or honey. For more peppermint flavor, add another drop of peppermint extract.
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl, and let the creative toppings begin! Sprinkle crushed candy canes, dollops of Greek yogurt, granola, or fresh mint on top to enhance both flavor and presentation.
Notes
For a completely vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt and coconut milk. Adjust peppermint extract to your taste preference.
