Notes
- For a smoother coffee taste you may add only 2 tsp instant coffee powder . I like mine strong and so 1/2 tbsp worked great for me.
- You can customize this bowl with your choice of toppings.
- The nutritional value is provided without toppings. It will vary depending on your choice of toppings and its quantities.
- Add almond milk to the blender first for a smooth and efficient blending.
- This recipe tastes best when served immediately. However, you may refrigerate it overnight without the toppings for a quick grab and go breakfast. Just before serving add the toppings. Do not store it for longer though because it might taste bitter.
