Comments
All ingredients are available at any Charlotte chain—cocoa mix and espresso are staples, and coconut butter and milk are now standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Walmart. The 5-minute claim is honest; this truly is a blend-and-go drink that costs under $2 per serving if you're already stocked on pantry staples. The main caveat is that this is a single-serving drink that doesn't reheat well and requires someone to drink it fresh, so it works best for a solo breakfast or post-workout, not for feeding a family or meal prep. The coconut butter can separate and leave grittiness if not whisked in smoothly, so invest 30 seconds in proper blending to avoid a grainy mouthfeel.
