Ingredients

  • 5 “coffee” ice cubes, sweetened (about 1 cup loose cubes)
  • 5 non-dairy milk cubes (almond milk used) (about 1 cup loose cubes)
  • 2 water ice cubes (or for stronger coffee flavor, 3 more coffee cubes)
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • 2-4 Medjool dates, pitted, to sweeten to taste
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (add more as needed to blend)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp raw walnuts, chopped (about 1 small handful)
  • 1 tsp cacao powder

Preparation

  1. To make your coffee cubes, you can either freeze strongly brewed coffee that has been sweetened to your preference in ice cube trays or use espresso. If using espresso, I would water down each shot of espresso with one shot of water, then add sweetener to taste. These will be your coffee cubes in your shake.
  2. Blend the ice cubes and all other ingredients in a blender until thick, creamy and frosty. Serve right away.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
