I got this recipe from Nicole at Blissfully Blessed. I tweaked it just a little, but all credit for this amazing idea definitely goes to her! I have a hard time enjoying "healthy" shakes and drinks most of the time.. but this one is so good I could guzzle it all day!
How I Made It: (tweak to your taste)
- Two handfuls of ice (I like it icy.. you can do less)
- 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk
- 1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa
- 1/2 cup of leftover, cold coffee
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Stevia to taste (I used NuNaturals)
I like to blend my ice to powder before adding the other ingredients.. no chunks of ice for me ;-)
You can definitely reduce the amount of peanut butter and leave the coconut oil out completely. I'm nursing a 7-week-old and am having a hard time eating enough for both of us.. I'm staaarving all day long, so I like the extra fat snuck in this way. Plus, you can never have too much peanut butter ;-)
The coffee isn't required, either.. I loved the nutty mocha flavor this had. Definitely rivals anything at Starbucks! :)
This makes a lot-- about 3 cups.. but I can finish that off in no time at all! It doesn't get very thick-- it's really more like an iced coffee, so you can keep it in the fridge to enjoy throughout the day.
If you follow the Trim Healthy Mama plan, this would be an S. Use defatted peanut butter flour and leave the coconut oil out to make it a fuel pull (FP)!
