Instructions

Mise en place
Gather measured ingredients, a blender, measuring spoon, measuring cup, small bowl, spatula, and 2 chilled glasses before you start. · 3 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
Cool espresso
Brew the espresso and let it cool for 5 minutes so it does not warm the oat milk or melt the ice too quickly. · 5 min
What to look for: Espresso is dark, aromatic, and no longer steaming hard.
Load blender
Add oat milk, cooled espresso, banana, chocolate protein, cocoa, and ice to the blender jar in that order for smooth blending. · 2 min
What to look for: Liquid sits at the bottom and powders are moistened on top.
Blend smooth
Blend on high until the banana is fully pureed and the cocoa is evenly dispersed, stopping once to scrape the sides if needed. · 2 min
What to look for: Smoothie looks glossy, thick, and evenly chocolate brown.
Check texture
Blend again briefly if any cocoa clings to the jar, using the spatula to push it down with the motor off. · 1 min
What to look for: No dry cocoa streaks remain on the sides of the jar.
Serve cold
Pour immediately into 2 chilled glasses and serve while cold, with a dark mocha aroma and creamy banana body. · 1 min
What to look for: Each glass is filled with a cold, thick mocha smoothie.

Ingredient substitutions

Espresso

Water: Use only when caffeine must be avoided because it removes the espresso character.

Chocolate protein

Cocoa: Adds chocolate taste but greatly lowers protein and sweetness.

Banana

Maple syrup: Adds sweetness but makes the smoothie thinner and less creamy.

Oat milk

Milk: Gives a creamier dairy flavor and keeps the mocha profile.

Cocoa

Chocolate protein: Keeps the chocolate direction but tastes sweeter and less dark.

Ice

Water: Use cold water for easier blending, though the smoothie will be less thick.
