A Coffee Smoothie Gives You Energy to Rev Up Your Productivity

We all know that a healthy, filling smoothie in the morning is what keeps us energized throughout the day. But a delicious, aromatic coffee is what gets us going in the first place. So, if you’re having both already, why not make a tasty concoction of the two?! You’ll find it much easier to be a morning person. Plus, it’ll save you time, so you can browse through Instagram before leaving the house.

It turns out coffee does a lot more than just increase your energy levels; it’s also been scientifically proven to reduce the risks of certain cancers, diabetes, and degenerative diseases. Your morning smoothie can only get healthier with the addition of java.

Get buzzed on caffeine and stay energized with these coffee smoothie recipes! Just make sure you’re using cold coffee (or cold brew), so you don’t end up with a lukewarm smoothie. Or freeze your coffee in an ice cube tray the night before to avoid having to use extra ice cubes!

 

Try these five coffee smoothie recipes to beat the morning blues. Just throw everything is a high-speed blender and blend until you hit the consistency you like.

Pinch salt to taste

Honey or maple syrup to taste
