This chilled vegan smoothie blends bold coffee, rich salted caramel, and dreamy vanilla for a creamy treat that wakes up your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee cooled or iced
- 1 frozen banana yes, frozen is non-negotiable
- 1 tbsp salted caramel sauce vegan, of course
- 1 tsp vanilla extract liquid elegance
- 1 cup almond milk or oat, live your life
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for fiber and illusions
- 2 tsp cocoa powder for mocha flair
- Pinch sea salt because caramel’s BFF
- 5 ice cubes no soggy vibes allowed
Instructions
- Brew strong coffee and chill it. Seriously, don’t use hot—this isn’t a latte.
- In your blender, throw in the banana, chilled coffee, almond milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
- Add chia seeds for fiber that no one asked for but we love anyway.
- Sprinkle in the sea salt. Not too much—we’re fancy, not dehydrated.
- Toss in the ice cubes. Blend on high until it looks like a café menu item.
- Pour into glasses. Sip, sigh, and pretend you're in a wellness commercial.
