Notes
Variations
- For a creamier texture, substitute the unsweetened soy milk with unsweetened almond milk or pea milk. If you want to add richness and extra protein, add a tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter.
- To really bring out the smoothie’s coffee flavor, consider using cold brew coffee instead of regular brewed coffee. Adjust the sweetness level to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of chocolate syrup and maple syrup.
