Coffee Smoothie Recipe

I am a coffee junkie.  I love the smell of coffee brewing in the morning.  Growing up, my mother would always get up early (and still does) and make coffee.  I associate that smell with very good memories.  In addition to a nice hot cup, I am a fan of the stuff in iced and frozen state.  Today, I am posting a recipe for a coffee smoothie!  It does not fall into the strictly "healthy" smoothie category, but it is a treat for anyone who is a fan of all things mocha or coffee.

Coffee Smoothie

2T. Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
1 Banana (frozen is awesome, but room temp is ok too)
2T. Coffee (not hot-room temp is ok, caffeinated or non)
1 tsp. Agave or Honey (agave has a slightly caramel taste for all you caramel junkies)
2/3 C. Milk ( whatever kind floats your boat!  I love almond milk in mine.  You can use soy as well)
3 or 4 ice cubes (optional)

Put everything in your blender and process until smooth.  Dump in a beverage container and enjoy!
