Java Chip Smoothie tastes like a healthy paleo frappuccino that you can enjoy for breakfast! A creamy coffee base is flecked with cacao nib chocolate chips.
Get ready to dive into this creamy dreamy coffee shake that is studded with chocolate flecks and swirled with sweet caramel notes.
This is your morning coffee and breakfast in one that magically tastes like dessert.
On sip in, you'll call me a fool for saying this dessert shake is actually healthy breakfast. But pinch yourself and take another sip. This smoothie is packed with benefits, is vegan, paleo, and dairy-free.
The cashews give it a ridiculously creamy texture while adding healthy fats to keep you full and satisfied.
Coffee doesn't just give you an energy boost (though, thank goodness for that!), it also is packed with antioxidants that are great for brain health.
Then we sneak in some cauliflower (which if you haven't tried it, sounds RIDICULOUS!) to thicken up our Java Chip Smoothie and add some mega nutrients without changing the flavor or adding in extra sugars.
Then cacao nibs are a healthy swap for chocolate chips. All the chocolate flavor, none of the sugar.
What I really truely love more than anything in the world is a quick and easy recipe that is healthy and delicious. So, naturally I am head over heels for this one.
Just grab 6 staple ingredients and one blender. This Java Chip Smoothie won't cost you more than 10 minutes of your time - including cleanup!
