We get a lot of questions in regards to whether coffee is good or bad for you. Coffee in moderation is ok. However, everyone’s definition of moderation is different.  1 cup of coffee a day would be moderate.  Obviously, organic is better than regular and stay away from decaffinated (dangerous processing) and instant coffee.*

This smoothie is delicious with just a hint of coffee flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 can
    organic coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp
    pure vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp
    organic cocoa powder
  • 2 packets
    Stevia or adjust to taste
  • 3-5 organic coffee beans
    (if you have a powerful blender like a Vita-mix, you can just throw them in…otherwise grind with a coffee grinder or small spice grinder)
  • 1/2 cup
    ice

Instructions

  1. Blend everything up until frothy and the coffee beans and ice are incorporated.

    Optional:

    For an extra healthy boost, you can add greens powder, fresh greens, or cabbage.

    *The only caveat to that is that we never want to see anyone “addicted” or “slave to” any food or substance.  You never want to have to rely on something like caffeine to get started in the morning.  If you feel like you HAVE to have your coffee in order to make it through the day, that is more of an addiction and should be overcome.
