Tips to make the perfect Mocha Smoothie
This recipe couldn’t be simpler! All you have to do is to place all the ingredients into a blender and mix to get a rich and creamy Mocha Smoothie. That’s it! However, here are a few tips to help you make the perfect Mocha Smoothie.
- Both a blender and a food processor work for this recipe, but if you have the choice I recommend to use a high-speed blender. A good quality high-speed blender is the perfect equipment for smooth and creamy smoothies. It is fast, convenient, easy to use and to wash. A food processor also does the job but it generally takes a bit longer and often leaves some chunks.
- Use very ripe, yellow and spotty bananas for best flavor and natural sweetness. You can use either fresh or frozen banana, but I can only recommend frozen for a thick and super creamy texture! To freeze banana, simply slice and arrange in a freezer bag in a single layer to prevent large clumps. Place in freeze overnight until hard.
- This Mocha Smoothie is meant to be thick and creamy. So you don’t want to add too much liquid, just enough to blend. So I would recommend to add the almond milk gradually just until you get the right texture. However, if you prefer your smoothie runnier, feel free to add more milk!
How to enjoy your Mocha Smoothie Bowl
To be honest, this Mocha Smoothie is already amazing on its own! It is rich, full of delicious flavors, thick and creamy, what make this a perfect nourishing snack. I love to enjoy it as it is and drink with a straw for a healthy afternoon snack or instead of my regular coffee. You can also add a spoon of plant-based protein powder to make a perfect post-workout smoothie!
But don’t get me wrong, there is nothing better than an overloaded smoothie bowl to start the day! It’s fresh, nourishing, tasty, packed with good nutrients, easy to digest and super quick to prepare. My favorite kind of breakfast. But the best part is definitely the toppings! Here is where you can be creative and just go for your heart’s desires!
Topping suggestions
When it comes to smoothie bowl toppings, there is NO RULES. Just go for what you love, what you’re craving on the moment, or simply what you have in your cupboards. But even if you can’t really go wrong with toppings, there are a few tips to help you build the best smoothie bowl.
- Even if it’s tempting, try not to go TOO crazy with the toppings. Usually 3 to 4 toppings is way enough. Try to choose ingredients that are consistent in flavors and that compliment each other.
- Think about textures when you choose your toppings. Add something creamy like nut butter, something crunchy like seeds, nuts or granola, and something chewy like dry fruits.
- If using fresh fruits, try to choose seasonal fruits. It’s the guarantee of delicious and sweet fruits at a good price. And it’s good for the planet!
- My favorite toppings for this Mocha Smoothie Bowl include: a spoon of tahini for the creaminess and intense flavor that goes perfectly with chocolate and coffee, my homemade crunchy nutty granola, coconut flakes and fresh seasonal fruits!
- For this smoothie as for all other recipes, don’t hesitate to taste and adjust the seasoning! Some love their smoothies unsweetened, some a little more. Same thing for the flavors and spices. So once blended, taste your smoothie and if necessary feel free to add an extra date or a tablespoon of maple syrup for more sweetness, more cocoa or vanilla.
