Mocha Smoothie Bowl Recipe | Vegan + GF

This mocha smoothie bowl recipe came about from a combination of desperation and experimentation. I was going to make my Nutella smoothie bowl recipe one morning and realised that I didn’t have any hazelnut milk, and wondered what I could make that hit the same spot, and I decided to give this recipe a try.

Okay, the lack of hazelnut milk was the desperation, but where’s the experimentation? 

I love coffee, and consume far too much of it. I drink mine black and strong, it’s truly the coffee taste that I love, no added frills. But I hate anything coffee flavoured – ice cream, tiramisu, coffee cake, all of it. I also don’t like iced coffee.  

So, I decided it would be completely logical to make something iced and coffee flavoured for breakfast one morning to see if I could get on board. It turns out iced mocha is actually a great combination. Or at least it is for a smoothie bowl, I’m yet to test this theory in liquid form.  

Either way – this was a great breakfast choice, and I think there’s a pretty good chance that you like things that are cold and coffee flavoured if you’re reading this, so you should definitely try it.  

Before we get into the recipe, do any of you love coffee but not coffee flavoured things, or vice versa maybe? I know it’s a bit strange…

Mocha Smoothie Bowl Recipe 

A thick and creamy mocha smoothie bowl recipe, creamy chocolate, like dessert for breakfast, with a little caffeine boost to get you going first thing on a morning.  

I’ve used avocado here, as I do in the vast majority of my smoothie recipes, to make the texture as creamy as possible. I say this every single time, but I promise you, you cannot in any way taste the avocado in this recipe. It’s purely for texture.

The ingredients list below mentions chocolate or vanilla protein powder, for reference, my go-to is the vanilla vegan blend from Bulk Powders (not an ad, or aff, just my favourite vegan protein).

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. It can be nut free and soy free depending on your choice of dairy alternatives.
