We're talking about a luscious, protein-packed, vegan, and plant-based "ice cream" drink that tastes like pure indulgence, without the added sugar. Prepare to have your taste buds blown and your health goals met, all in one delightful sip.
We all know the struggle. That afternoon slump hits, and the siren song of the coffee shop's sugary mocha is hard to resist. WELL our recipe delivers all the satisfying flavours of a mocha without the unwanted sugar rush. It's the perfect way to fuel your day, satisfy your sweet cravings, and enjoy a truly indulgent treat – all while staying true to your health goals.
The Magic Ingredients:
This isn't your average "healthy" dessert that tastes like cardboard. We're using the power of 99th Monkey's Protein Smoothies to create a texture and flavour that's shockingly close to the real deal. Here's what you'll need:
- 99th Monkey Protein Smoothie (Chocolate Flavour): This is the key to our mocha's rich, decadent chocolatey base. Packed with plant-based protein, it'll keep you feeling full and satisfied, while delivering that intense chocolate flavour you crave.
- 99th Monkey Protein Smoothie (Coffee Flavour): The coffee kick! This smoothie is not only bursting with delicious coffee flavour but also adds another boost of protein and contributes to the creamy texture of our "ice cream."
- Oat Milk (or Almond Milk): A splash of your favourite plant-based milk adds extra creaminess and helps blend everything together. Oat milk tends to create a richer, thicker consistency, while almond milk offers a lighter option.
The Star Player: Your Ninja Creami
If you haven't jumped on the Ninja Creami bandwagon yet, now's the time. This magical machine transforms frozen ingredients into incredibly creamy, ice cream-like textures in minutes. It's the secret weapon behind our no-added-sugar dessert dreams.
Let's Get Blending (and Freezing!)
- Prep the "Ice Cream": Pour 350ml of the 99th Monkey Coffee Protein Smoothie into your Ninja Creami container. Add a splash of oat milk (or almond milk) – just a tablespoon or two to help with the blending process.
- Freeze: Seal the container and pop it into your freezer for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This is crucial for achieving that perfect ice cream consistency.
- Creamify: Once frozen solid, place the container into your Ninja Creami and let the magic happen! Follow the manufacturer's instructions to "creamify" the frozen smoothie. It usually takes just a couple of minutes to transform into a smooth, creamy "ice cream."
- Assemble Your Mocha Masterpiece: Grab your favourite drinking glass and fill it with ice. Spoon the coffee "ice cream" into the glass, leaving some room at the top. Now, for the final touch: gently pour the 99th Monkey Protein Smoothie in Chocolate Flavour over the coffee base.
- Enjoy! Grab a spoon (or a straw!) and dive into your protein-packed, no-added-sugar Iced Creamy Mocha.
