Morning Energizing Fall Smoothie

For the second smoothie of my #septembersummersmoothieseries, here’s a chocolatey, espresso, banana smoothie that is creamy, filled with healthy fats, and will definitely perk you up! For room temperature (if it’s cooler where you are in September or you’re sensitive to cold), use a room temperature banana. If you’re somewhere where it’s still not in September (where I am), then use 1 cup frozen banana or freeze before.

Happy blending. 🤎
