How to Make It
STEP 1: Load Up the Blender
Start by adding the banana, oat milk, Greek yogurt, cocoa, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg into your blender. These ingredients set the stage with rich texture, gentle sweetness, and warming spice.
STEP 2: Brew the Espresso
Pull a double shot of espresso using Pacaya Gold. With its bold yet smooth profile, it blends beautifully into the creamy base, giving this smoothie a subtle kick without overpowering the other flavors.
STEP 3: Add the Ice
Toss in 1–2 cups of ice, depending on how thick and cold you prefer your smoothie. This gives it a refreshing, shake-like chill that’s perfect for morning routines or post-workout sips.
STEP 4: Blend Until Smooth
Now blend everything together until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust—add more honey for sweetness, or a splash more oat milk if it’s too thick.
STEP 5: Pour and Top
Pour into your favorite glass. Top it with banana slices and a sprinkle of chocolate flakes for a little extra indulgence—because starting your day strong doesn’t mean skipping the good stuff.
