What better way to kick start your day than with this yummy peanut butter mocha smoothie made with soy milk, banana, coffee, and vegan yogurt.
I love starting my mornings with a smoothie. This vegan peanut butter mocha smoothie combines some of my favorite foods: peanut butter, chocolate, and coffee! They blend together for a delicious smoothie that has just enough caffeine to get you going in the morning.
Mocha Smoothie Ingredients
- Frozen Banana: You can use fresh banana as well, but I prefer frozen for a creamy, icy smoothie. Using frozen banana will make a thicker smoothie as well.
- Coffee: Use leftover or chilled brewed coffee for this smoothie. You don’t want to use hot coffee or you will end up with a warm smoothie and you’ll lose the frostiness from the frozen bananas.
- Milk: I prefer to use soy milk in smoothies since it has more protein than other plant-based milks. However, you can use whatever plant-based milk that you prefer.
- Yogurt: This adds a bit of extra creaminess to this smoothie. I love the plain, unsweetened almond milk yogurt from Kite Hill. You can use whatever plant-based yogurt you like!
- Cocoa Powder: Adds just a hint of chocolate flavor to this yummy smoothie.
- Peanut Butter: Pairs so well with the coffee and the cocoa. Plus, it adds some healthy fats to this smoothie to help fill you up.
- Chia Seeds/Hemp Hearts: Optional, but I like the added nutrient benefits of protein and healthy fats from chia seeds or hemp hearts. I toss them into my smoothies often!
How to Blend the Perfect Smoothie
- Start on low speed and slowly increase the speed to blend up all the ingredients.
- Using frozen fruit in smoothies creates a thicker, creamier smoothie.
- Smoothie too thick? Add a splash of milk. Too thin? Blend in some ice or more frozen fruit.

Oh heaven! I make a mocha frappe often but never have thought to add peanut butter – will be making this ASAP.
Wow, this is my cup of tea!! And the photos are gorgeous!
OOh yum!! Love this combination with the coffee. Pinning!
This smoothie looks insane (in the best way)!! Love when a nourishing smoothie tastes like a decadent dessert 🙂
Would it be ok to make this the night before and leave in the fridge til the next morning? I thought it would be but wanted to make sure it wouldn’t separate for some reason. 🙂
Hi Hannah, I haven’t made it the night before yet – so I don’t know if it separates or not! If there is some separation, I would just give it a good shake or pulse it in the blender again before serving in the morning.
Ok thank you! 🙂
