Ingredients
1 1/2cupbrewed coffee
2 tablespoonscashews,raw or dry roasted, unsalted
1-2largeMedjool dates,pitted
1tablespooncocoa powder(or more to taste)
Small pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the coffee using your preferred method. I use a French press or an espresso maker and keep it running until I get 1 1/2 cups.
Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, along with the warm coffee. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Notes
Be careful when removing the blender lid as there will be steam.This recipe works best with a strong blender. With my Vitamix, I don't have any pieces of dates or cashews in my drink. A Blendtec should work too. I don't recommend it with a weaker blender. If you do try it, you can always soak the dates and cashews or strain the drink with a fine mesh sieve. That being said, the results won't be the same.You can use a liquid sweetener to taste instead of dates if preferred. Maple syrup would work well.Feel free to add more cocoa powder for a stronger chocolate flavor.
