1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1

Make sure 1 cup cooled strong brewed coffee or espresso (cooled) is fully cooled to room temperature or refrigerated before blending; hot liquid will melt the ice and dilute the drink.

Questions

Is there a substitute for coconut milk in Vietnamese Coconut Coffee Smoothie?

The entry for Vietnamese Coconut Coffee Smoothie calls for 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned). In its place: Heavy cream or evaporated milk gives the same body without the coconut flavor. To stay dairy-free, blend soaked cashews with water until smooth.

How many calories are in Vietnamese Coconut Coffee Smoothie?

One serving (the recipe makes 2) is about 220 calories, with 4 g protein, 32 g carbohydrate and 10 g fat, plus 1 g fiber and 120 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I batch Vietnamese Coconut Coffee Smoothie for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Halved, the coffee drops from 1 cup to 1/2 cup; doubled, it is 2 cups. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
