Mayan Mocha Smoothie

Easy breakfasts are a requirement for me, and smoothies, as a rule, are pretty easy to make. And that ease makes them one of my favorite breakfasts. That and the variety. I often get into a smoothie rut, though, and make the same recipe for days and days. then I’ll get bored and switch things up. That’s why I am trying this Mayan Mocha Smoothie recipe. My smoothie game has gotten a bit boring, and this baby sounds delish. Let’s give it a try!

This delicious mocha smoothie is smooth, creamy, and full of great coffee chocolate flavor. It’s healthy, vegan, vegetarian, and dairy free.

The Ingredients

This smoothie is loaded with healthy foods! My pre-shopping pantry check showed me I had cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. I had to shop for everything else, but I found all the ingredients at my usual grocery store.

The main ingredient of this recipe is coffee, but it doesn’t say what kind. Since smoothies are cold, I bought a bottle of cold brew. It would already be cold when I was ready to make the recipe and it was just plain convenient.

The other liquid component of this smoothie is “milk of choice” so I opted for skim milk.

Mayan Mocha Smoothie Ingredients
Milk, Haas avocado, bananas, Medjool date, cold brew coffee, cacao powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, and sea salt

The Process

The great thing about smoothies is you make them by throwing a bunch of stuff into a blender and pressing a button. This recipe did have a touch more work than that, but not much.

This recipe was so easy to make
Making this smoothie was as simple as adding all the ingredients to a blender and pushing a button

Bananas had to be peeled, spices measured, and the avocado and date had to be pitted. Pitting and peeling the avocado was the “hardest” part, and it wasn’t difficult because the avocado was very ripe. The peel practically fell off.

But that part still went fast since I didn’t have to worry about making things look good. The goal was to get rid of the pit and skin, not make a pretty garnish. Since I planned to let the blender do all the work I didn’t even chop my avocado.

I also had to pit the date, but, again, it was very easy. I really didn’t even need a knife to remove the pit from the soft fruit. You can buy them pitted, but I couldn’t find that type when I did my shopping.

This recipe made about 5 1/2 cups

With everything prepped, I added the top and pushed the button on the blender. I gave it a minute or so to ensure everything was liquefied. The result was just over 5 cups of Mayan Mocha Smoothie.

Timing

This recipe doesn’t list a total time, but it was super quick. I had mine blended and poured in 5 minutes.

So how was it?

This Mayan Mocha Smoothie is loaded with healthy ingredients, and it's very easy to make. I went into this expecting to love it. I love dark chocolate and spicy foods, but this smoothie wasn't for me. I think the main issue was the cayenne. I know it's good for you, but such a small amount packs a kick. I just wasn't feeling it at breakfast. Once I got past the spice I found the chocolate too bitter despite the sweet bananas and date. This recipe has potential, but I'll have to play around with the quantities of the ingredients. Less cayenne and cacao powder and more dates might do the trick.
