Coffee Walnut Smoothie
I am a true coffee lover and cannot start my day without it. But I limit myself with 1 coffee cup a day and its always instant coffee and a big no no to filter coffee. I am also much concerned about the brand and nescafe sunrise is my fav alltime. I usually dont like icecreams in my smoothies or milkshake as I feel it makes it heavy so I skipped that alone and came up with this yummy combination smoothie.

Coffee Walnut Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
- Chilled Milk - 1 cup
- Instant coffee powder - 1 tsp
- Walnuts - 3 to 4 whole
- Vanilla essence - just a drop (1/8 tsp)
- Honey - 2 tsp
- Chocolate Chips - 1 tsp
- Vanilla icecream - a small scoop (I didnt use so I made it optional :))

When I saw this combination smoothie in Tarla Dalal I instantly tried and have been making it often since then. The crunchness in the walnuts and the strong flavour in the coffee powder makes it unique and rich.
Method:
- Add all the ingredients in a mixer and blend till smooth and creamy.
- Pour into individual serving glasses and sprinkle coffee powder just for garnish.
- Enjoy your interesting combination shake! Slurrrppppp....

My Notes:
- The original recipe called in for vanilla icecream but I skipped it, you can add it for a more creamier and richer version.
- I make this smoothie often as I totally am addicted to the coffee- walnut combination.
- Dont add more than 4 walnuts as it will make the smoothie slightly bitter.

A easy, unique and lip smacking smoothie ready in minutes. I am sure you will get addicted to this smoothie and lick the glasses just like me :)

This is the perfect treat for coffee lovers like me! I cannot open my eyes fully in the morning without my first cup. I take it very strong and very flavorful, no instant mix for me...freshly brewed is my cup of choice (any brand will do!) My doctor tells me to slow down with coffee since I take about 3-4 cups in a day...I can substitute 2 cups with this smoothie and I can still satisfy my cravings...Love it! Thanks again!
I too love coffeee and this looks absoulte divine..
Yummy and delightful smoothie Sharmi.

I am a coffeeholic..a little walnut will definitely add to the flavor
waahh, I made this this morning, and I was wondering if you meant 3-4 whole walnuts or walnut halves...? anyways, i also tried to warm this in tha micro and added some cinnamon and voila, a nice latte! ^^ i wonder what other spices i could add to this latte ;)
Ummm.....delicious! I just found the recipe & tried it too. easy to make, instant recipe. loved it. thanks for sharing.
