If you ever wake up feeling like you’re wearing concrete shoes, then perhaps you should try a delicious Iced Chocolate Coffee Bone Broth Smoothie to power you through your day!
Whoa, wait…did you just say bone broth? In a smoothie?!! Eeeewww. But don’t worry. You won’t need to use liquid broth in this smoothie to get all the benefits of bone broth.
After regularly drinking bone broth for two years, I wanted to create a crave-worthy coffee protein shake that I could also enjoy in the summer months.
An added benefit is that this smoothie gives me a surge of energy, albeit without the coffee shakes!

Tips and resources for this recipe
- I like to make either espresso (since it’s strong) or a really strong brew of coffee so that the coffee flavor comes through
- The secret to this iced coffee smoothie is in the collagen protein powder. The brand that I’ve been using in my coffee and smoothies for over a year is the Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen protein powder. It’s an affiliate link but I use this product everyday and purchase it myself.
- I like to blend the collagen powder in the hot coffee to help it dissolve easily.

- This easy Greek Lemon Chicken Soup (Avogolemeno soup) is so light and flavorful.
- Check out these Bone Broth Soups & Stews that pair so well with sourdough bread.
When blended, the smoothie will initially get a nice bubbly consistency, making this smoothie look like a cold foam latte!
The cocoa powder in the smoothie is what gives it that rich dark brown color, so don’t worry about it being too overloaded with coffee, ha!

Hi! I have been following Dr. Kelly Ann. Love making bone broth and adding to everything. When it came to wanting to buy bone broth coffee, the price for 15 single servings just about made me fall out of my chair! That’s how I found you. Thank you. Looking forward to making my cubes and iced coffee for summer. Now my bone broth will really be all over my frig:)
Hi Sherri! Yes, the price of bone broth coffee can be STEEP. When you make this, be sure to use unflavored chicken bone broth. I have cartons of Kettle & Fire and some of them have different flavors added, so any pure good quality chicken bone broth will do. Even if you make your own you will use onions and carrots, etc. Those are fine as they will give the broth a natural flavor. I just mean added flavors like mushroom, ginger, etc. Please check back in and let me know what you think!
If you use bone broth powder, you can omit the banana (if you just want bone broth coffee) because the powders will either have no flavor or have a nice vanilla or chocolate flavor. The banana is great for neutralizing any excess flavor from the bone broth ice cubes, plus it makes it more of a smoothie texture.
I do not see any bone broth ice cubes in the recipe, how many do you add?
I would add 2-3 ice cubes! Anymore and you might taste the broth.
I’d love to try this recipe with a roasted herbal tea I drink that tastes like coffee!
How many ounces are the bone broth cubes? I have some frozen bone broth in 1/3 cup measurements from a muffin pan I froze them in.
Thank you!
Hi Kim! I weighed my ice cubes and they were 1.1 oz each. Have a great day!
Question. I prefer beef bone broth. Wondering if anyone has tried in this coffee recipe?
I haven’t tried it but don’t think beef bone broth would work as well in this recipe because chicken bone broth is more in neutral flavor. I had to use broth that didn’t have a lot of extra flavor added and disappeared in the background so to speak. You might taste beef broth in your coffee and I don’t think that would be a good thing!
