This Iced Dark Chocolate Coffee Smoothie is basically self-care in a glass. It’s cool, bold, and unapologetically indulgent — like you on a Friday morning. The dark chocolate adds drama, the coffee fuels ambition, and the ice keeps things chill when life’s not. It’s vegan, energizing, and sweet enough to make you forget your to-do list (for five minutes, anyway). Blend it up, take a sip, and let the caffeine work its magic while you pretend you’ve got it all together. Spoiler: you do — because this smoothie says so.
