MOCHA FUDGE BLISS

Mocha Fudge Bliss is a decadent yet healthy smoothie that blends the bold flavours of coffee and chocolate with the natural sweetness of banana and maple syrup. Almond milk provides a smooth, dairy-free base, while instant coffee adds a gentle caffeine boost, making this an excellent choice for a morning pick-me-up or post-workout energy booster. The combination of cocoa powder and maple syrup creates a deep, fudge-like richness reminiscent of a classic mocha but without artificial additives or excess sugar. This smoothie is packed with antioxidants, fibre and healthy carbs, making it a satisfying and nourishing alternative to sugary coffee drinks. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast shake, an afternoon energy boost or a dessert-like treat, every sip delivers creamy, chocolatey indulgence with a hint of coffee warmth. Garnish with cacao nibs, a dusting of cocoa powder or a swirl of almond butter for extra texture and flavour.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this mocha fudge bliss.

  • Use Frozen Banana: It enhances the creamy texture without needing ice.
  • Dissolve Coffee Before Blending: Mix instant coffee with a small amount of warm water before adding it to prevent clumps.
  • Blend For Longer: This ensures the cocoa powder and coffee mix well for a smooth consistency.
  • Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the maple syrup based on preference or substitute with agave syrup or honey.
  • Enhance The Chocolate Flavour: Use dark cocoa powder for a richer taste.
  • Make It Extra Thick: Reduce the almond milk for a spoonable smoothie bowl topped with nuts and cacao nibs.

VARIATIONS

  • Higher Protein: Blend in a scoop of chocolate or coffee-flavoured protein powder.
  • Nutty Twist: Add a teaspoon of almond butter or peanut butter for a richer taste.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut milk instead of almond milk for a creamier texture.
  • Stronger Coffee Flavour: Double the instant coffee or use cold brew instead of almond milk.
  • Spiced Version: Mix in a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne for extra warmth.
  • Dessert-Style Treat: Top with whipped coconut cream and shaved dark chocolate for an indulgent finish.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Stir before drinking.
  • Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend with fresh almond milk when ready to serve.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-portion banana and cocoa powder into freezer bags for quick blending on busy mornings.
