When I go to an early yoga class, I usually eat something small and simple (like sunflower butter toast) before and then something else small but perhaps less simple after when I’m not in such a rush.
Yesterday, since I had risen at 3 freaking o’clock in the morning, by the time I got home from yoga around 9:30am, it was time for some coffee. Unfortunately, after an hour and a half in a hundred-degree room, I want nothing to do with coffee (even though coffee is not a diuretic and does not dehydrate you).
My solution, then, was to add it to my green smoothie. I make them with cocoa powder anyway so the addition of coffee seemed logical. Chocolate + coffee = yes.
It was good and kept me going strong until about 3:30pm at which point I face planted for about an hour and a half. Thankfully, I woke up at 7 today like a sane human being.


How did you add the coffee, exactly? Brewed iced coffee? Instant? I’ve toyed with the idea of adding instant coffee (Sbux VIA or the like) to my green smoothies, but haven’t been brave enough to try it yet. For now, I drink my latte, and then my smoothie.
