Blended decaf iced mochaccino 💚
This baby brings me back!
Honestly, the line between chocolate milk, milkshake, and gourmet coffee can be very blurry to me. Every so often I have a hankerin' for something like.. Ovaltine. This is like a fancy version of that.
It's thick and rich and chocolatey and not overly sweet. Lucuma and maca are nontraditional ingredients in my neck of the woods, but they provide a natural caramel and malt flavor that's unbelievably good, especially when combined with dates.
📌 RECIPE:
Blend—
8 oz unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp traditional oats
2 tsp lucuma powder
2 tsp maca powder
1 tbsp regular cocoa powder
¼ tsp vanilla extract
2 medjool dates, briefly soaked in hot water, pits removed
1 tsp decaf instant coffee (or regular or whatever. I use this huge glass jar of Kroger decaf instant coffee crystals that I will probably pass on to my child some day 😆)
4 ice cubes (mine are about 2 tbsp in size, you can kinda see them in the photo)
Serve chilled over 5 more ice cubes!
If I ever made an amazing plant-based cookbook, this would be in there 😋
