A luscious vegan smoothie featuring coffee, salted caramel, and plant-based whipped cream—iced, indulgent, and caffeinated to keep you fabulous and functional.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold coffee or espresso strong and unapologetic
- 1 frozen banana for creamy drama
- 1 tbsp vegan salted caramel sauce
- 1 cup oat or almond milk unsweetened and fabulous
- 1 tsp vanilla extract adds grace, like mascara for your taste buds
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder optional but encouraged
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for health clout
- Pinch sea salt the diva of flavor
- 5 ice cubes no lukewarm vibes
- 2 –3 tbsp vegan whipped cream clouds of happiness
Instructions
- Brew strong coffee, cool it down, and try not to drink it all first.
- In a blender, toss in banana, caramel sauce, cold coffee, oat milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
- Add chia seeds and a light pinch of salt. Not too much—we’re extra, not reckless.
- Add ice. Blend until it’s smooth, creamy, and dangerously good-looking.
- Pour into a tall glass. Top with a generous dollop of vegan whipped cream.
- Optional: drizzle caramel on top, pose with it, and pretend you’re not late for work.
