Rise & shine with this delicious coffee smoothie! A pick me up for tired mornings – without the jitters of plain coffee. Plus, who doesn’t want to start their day with chocolate?
Personally, I never drank coffee until my daughter was born. I only drink a couple of cups per week now, but in those newborn days of exhaustion, it really became something I looked forward to.
Like most, I was not totally immune from some of the negative effects of coffee. That’s why I came up with this coffee smoothie recipe to still enjoy the perks as a tired new mom without feeling on edge or having digestive changes.
The protein and healthy fats in this recipe slow down digestion and absorption, making you less prone to a sudden spike in energy and a caffeine crash shortly after. It also tastes soooooo good – you’ll want to jump out of bed to go and make it!

Ice isn’t recommended in Ayurveda as it can weaken your digestive fire (agni). This recipe includes a small amount to compensate for the hot shot of coffee to give a more balanced temperature, closer to room temp.
