“It’s like having your morning coffee and a dessert in a single cup, absolutely energizing and delicious!”
🙂 Jenny L.

Buzzin’ Mocha Moo’d, a copycat featured blend Jamba Juice recipe, is a delightful fusion of rich cold brew coffee with the creamy texture of chocolate nonfat frozen yogurt, creating a caffeinated treat that’s both refreshing and indulgent. The addition of cacao powder enhances the chocolate flavor, while Splenda keeps it sweet without the extra calories. This smoothie is perfect for coffee lovers looking for a chilly twist on their usual brew.

This smoothie offers a fantastic blend of energy-boosting caffeine from the cold brew and antioxidants from the cacao, which can improve heart health and elevate mood. The use of nonfat frozen yogurt and milk provides calcium and protein while keeping the fat content lower. And, by using Splenda instead of sugar, it’s a smarter choice for those monitoring their sugar intake, potentially beneficial for blood sugar management.

Nonfat Frozen Yogurt – Nonfat frozen yogurt is often hailed as a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream. It includes yogurt culture probiotics lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus and is often made with agave nectar instead of high-calorie sugar. Nonfat frozen yogurt is a common choice among those wanting to reduce their caloric intake.

Cacao – Cacao powder, commonly used as a base ingredient for chocolate, is made by grinding up coco beans and removing the fat. Its main health benefit comes from an abundance of polyphenols, a naturally occurring group of antioxidants. Cacao powder is a heart-healthy ingredient, known to reduce high blood pressure, improve blood flow to your brain, lower the risk of stroke, and improve Type 2 diabetes symptoms.

Equipment Needed

A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.

How To Make The Jamba Juice Buzzin’ Mocha Moo’d Smoothie

The Jamba Juice Buzzin’ Mocha Moo’d smoothie is very easy to make:

Step 1: Place cold brew coffee, milk, chocolate nonfat frozen yogurt, cacao powder, Splenda, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.

To make this delicious smoothie dairy-free, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk.

If you’re avoiding artificial sweeteners, honey or agave syrup can replace Splenda.

For an extra health kick, consider adding a spoonful of chia seeds for fiber or a handful of spinach for iron, which won’t alter the taste much but boosts the nutrient content.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular coffee instead of cold brew in the Buzzin’ Mocha Moo’d?

Yes, you can use regular coffee, but keep in mind cold brew has a smoother, less acidic flavor profile which complements the smoothie better. If using hot coffee, let it cool first or use less to avoid melting the ice too quickly.

How does cacao powder differ from cocoa powder in recipes?

Cacao powder is made from raw cacao beans, offering a more intense chocolate flavor and higher antioxidant content since it’s less processed than cocoa powder, which is often heated at higher temperatures.
