Smoothie King Vegan Espresso Mocha Recipe

This is a homemade version of the Smoothie King Vegan Espresso Mocha. It’s a chocolate and coffee smoothie that gives you energy. Making it at home is easy and uses simple ingredients. We use bananas, dates, oat milk, espresso, cocoa, and plant-based protein. This copycat recipe tastes like the original but is made with clean, whole foods.

Ingredients Needed

• 1 frozen banana: Makes the smoothie creamy and sweet.
• 4 pitted dates: Adds natural sweetness and fiber.
• 1 cup oat milk: Gives a smooth texture and is dairy-free.
• 2 shots of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong coffee): Provides a caffeine boost.
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder: Adds rich chocolate flavor.
• 1 scoop plant-based protein powder (like hemp or pea protein): Adds protein to keep you full.
• 1 cup ice: Makes the smoothie cold and thick.

How To Make Vegan Espresso Mocha (Copycat)

1. Blend the Ingredients: Put the frozen banana, dates, oat milk, espresso, cocoa powder, protein powder, and ice into a blender.
2. Blend Until Smooth: Start blending on low speed, then increase to high. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie. If you want it sweeter, add another date. If it’s too thick, add a little more oat milk.
4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.
