Samoa Breakfast Smoothie

Samoa Breakfast Smoothie

Now that we’ve eaten dinner for breakfast, anyone up for dessert?

By the way, it’s totally acceptable to eat dessert for breakfast, especially if it’s pancakes pretending to be cheesecake or minty hot chocolate. But let’s shift our dessert focus to this healthy smoothie that completely mimics the taste of Samoa Girl Scout cookies. Oh yes, it’s possible.

Samoa Breakfast Smoothie
This nutritious treat combines frozen banana, coconut milk, cocoa powder and maple syrup. Blend all that goodness up and in minutes, you’ve got a healthy, decadent, naturally-sweetened smoothie. It’s the ultimate quick breakfast when you’re on-the-go. Or, if you’re randomly craving one of those sinful coconut-chocolate-drizzled cookies, make this smoothie instead!

Samoa Breakfast Smoothie
And let’s not forget about brunch! If you’re hosting a party, reduce the serving size and serve the smoothie mix in small glasses. Top each mini Samoa Breakfast Smoothie with cool whip, chocolate chips, and toasted coconut for a cute sip-able treat. Cheers!
