Awake Coffee Smoothie
I’m not usually a huge coffee fan, but this one here has just the right amount of sweetness with a ton of healthy goodness!
There are some things I’ve changed for my own personal taste buds so feel free to follow the original recipe or try out my suggestions!
This recipe is from the book, “Smoothie Project” by Catherine McCord.
Here’s what’s in it!
Personal Preference
Chameleon Organic Cold-Brew Coffee
1 teaspoon is sufficient enough. I used Carrington Farms Organic Ghee
Ingredients
1/2 cup cold brew coffee
2 teaspoons grass-fed butter
1 teaspoon MCT oil
1 serving collagen peptide ( 2 scoops )
1/2 teaspoon maca powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup almond milk
Making the Smoothie
Blend all ingredients together starting on a lower setting and increasing it for 1 minute. Pour into a glass and place in the fridge to chill for 10-15 minutes before drinking. I like my drinks super cold!
