Fruit, coffee and chocolate to start out my morning? Yes please! Now this is a recipe I was excited to try.
Not being one for going out and buying an ingredient just to use once, I decided to use pure maple syrup in place of the vanilla flavoring syrup. I thought that would taste weird, it didn't! You couldn't taste it at all. Next time I might try pure honey instead.
The cocoa was a little over powering for me, so next time I would cut back on this, but otherwise I would make this again. It might be a nice change of pace from a regular iced coffee in the morning. (I must be getting old, coffee is becoming a regular thing for me).
1/2 cup cold fat-free milk
1 tablespoon vanilla flavoring syrup (I used pure maple syrup)
1 cup ice cubes
1/2 medium banana, cut up
1 to 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed (I used chia seeds)
1 teaspoon baking cocoa
Yield: 1 serving.
