Helloooooo my precious readers!! I’m pumped! I’m caffeinated! I have nutrition flowing through my veins!!
Why? You ask. Coffee smoothies!! And you know what else? Ladybird Coffee Bombs.
Happy cacao. Vanilla Thunder. FOCUS. The flavors of these grass-fed butter, coconut oil, and collagen butter coffee “pucks” (they look like a beautiful Reese’s cup, but wayyyyy healthier) are intentionally crafted to bless your body AND mind. All you have to do is blend them into coffee, hot tea, milk- They taste SO good. And they each have as much protein as an egg!!
And one of my favorites- HOLY CACAO- is in this week’s smoothie!!!!
Like we mentioned earlier- I love the benefits of these flavors. Holy Cacao’s description: “FOCUS + METABOLISM BOOSTER + BLOOD SUGAR STABILIZER.” Umm, yesss to all of the above in my morning mug!
Especially if you are up at the crack of dawn, dog biting your toes and/or any limbs hanging off the bed, while emitting a very high-pitched bark squeak. #bigsbyblount
These bombs are the SECRET to my daily coffee routine and have changed my relationship with coffee forever. The way they help you clear your head, bind the effects of caffeine, and deliver even energy for four hours- truly awesome, and truly needed in my world.
In fact, let me count ALL the ways that I love these guys:
That’s right. A dose of clear-headedness, healthy fats, and energy for your day- all in one convenient spot. Like a Reese’s cup but wayyyy betteerrrr. You’ve got to try them, and if you are interested in learning more, just visit check out Ladybird Provisions site! I’m SURE that Sara and Nicole would love to hear from you.
Also- my favorite way to use coffee bombs are 1. Blend it with hot coffee until it is nice and frothy; 2. Freeze coffee cubes+blend with coffee bombs for a smoothie!!
So, this leads us to this week’s smoothie recipe. It’s week #2 of our January Smoothie focus and here’s one guy that’s going to help you focus EVEN more than you already are. It’s full of healthy protein, features a delicious HOLY CACAO coffee bomb, and tastes like a spicy chocolate shake. Deliciousness. Now go get those resolutions accomplished, people!

This smoothie involves little prep; all you need to remember is to keep some iced coffee cubes in the freezer. Use your favorite protein powder (mine is in the Amazon link below) and feel free to use a Happy Cacao bomb if you want less spice!
Serves 2
What You Will Need:
- 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 Ladybird Provisions Holy Cacao coffee bomb (or Happy Cacao if you desire less spice:) )
- 8 ounces coffee, frozen into small cubes***
- 1/2 banana, frozen
What You Will Do:
- Pour almond milk, protein powder, and coffee bomb into blender. Blend on low until ingredients come together and no chunks of coffee bomb remain. Then blend on medium speed until combined.
- Turn off blender. Add frozen coffee and banana. Blend on low, then medium speed until thoroughly combined.
- Blast smoothie on high for a few seconds until nice and frothy! ENJOY!
***I like to make a double-dose of my morning coffee, then pour tomorrow’s portion into ice cube trays. Pop those babies in the freezer, and voila!
