Ingredients Needed:

• 1 cup cold brew coffee: Smooth caffeine base that wakes you up without harsh acidity.

• 2 tablespoons almonds (soaked): Brings that almond flavor and healthy fats soak them to blend smooth.
• 2 Medjool dates (pitted): Natural sweetness and fiber to replace added sugar.

How To Make Smoothie King Coffee High Protein Almond Mocha (Copycat):

1. Soak the almonds in warm water for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best blendability).
2. Add cold brew, milk, almonds, pitted dates, cocoa powder, both protein powders, and ice to your blender.
3. Blend on high until it’s ultra-smooth—no chunks, no grit.
4. Taste and tweak: Add more dates for sweetness or a splash of milk to thin it out.

How This Homemade Recipe Matches The Original Smoothie Taste:

Smoothi king Coffee High Protein Almond Mocha is thick, chocolatey, and just a little nutty, with the kind of creaminess that feels like a treat. It also packs serious protein to fuel your day.

We recreate that by using unsweetened cocoa for depth, soaked almonds for richness, and Medjool dates to bring that natural sweet edge without any added sugar. Using two types of protein (whey or collagen) mimics Smoothie King’s hefty blend. Cold brew ties it all together with caffeine and that smooth mocha base.

Texture-wise, soaked almonds and blended dates help give it body and fiber no need for thickeners or fillers. And nutritionally, this hits all the right marks: high protein, good fats, no added sugar, and still comes in around 370 calories like the original.

Recipe Tips & Variations:

• Vegan version: Swap the whey protein for a clean plant-based protein, and use almond or oat milk instead of dairy.
• Boost the chocolate: Add a few dark chocolate chips or a touch of chocolate protein powder if you like it more mocha-forward.
• No fresh dates? Use 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, though it won’t have the fiber.
• Nut-free option: Sub almonds with sunflower seed butter for similar richness without the allergen.
• Extra thickness: Toss in a few frozen banana slices—but know it’ll shift the flavor slightly from true mocha.

How To Store This Smoothie:

Store your almond mocha smoothie in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed container, just shake it before drinking to remix any settling.

For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays and reblend with a splash of cold brew or milk when ready. It stays creamy and tastes freshly made.
