This  ultra-smooth and creamy Chocolate Coconut Espresso Smoothie is a yummy treat for when you need that little extra boost for breakfast! Perfect for the dreaded afternoon slump too!

Happy Monday guys! How was everyone’s weekend?

I’m a little tuckered out from my busy weekend, so today calls for one of my favorite Monday morning perk me ups! (see what I did there?) High on my list of favorite combinations is chocolate and coconut, second only to chocolate peanut butter. So this Chocolate Coconut Espresso Smoothie puts a smile on my face and a skip in my step. And today, I’m in desperate need of that little extra skip!

A small white bowl filled with espresso beans with a banana in background.

A flavorful combination of banana, cacao powder, espresso powder, cooled freshly brewed coffee, coconut milk, a pinch of cinnamon and some honey for sweetness makes for one delicious breakfast smoothie, post workout smoothie or afternoon pick me up. It’s ultra-creamy, decadent and tastes more like dessert! Topped with some chocolate shavings and toasted coconut chips and Monday’s looking better already! Enjoy!

    How good does this look!?!? I used to LOVE the combination of chocolate and coconut way back when before I developed my nasty little allergy. Too bad I can’t start every morning with one of these smoothies because they look absolutely perfect, Mare!! I’m going to have to make this for Boy though, because I know he will love it! Pinned! Cheers, friend!

    Love the idea of adding coffee to this chocolate coconut banana smoothie! Great for mornings, and a little afternoon pick-me-up snack too. It’s so hot here in Michigan still and while I want to be making soups and stews, all I want to have are cold smoothies. :) Ah well, I will enjoy it while it lasts!
