Sep 16, 2024

There’s nothing better than a cold, refreshing drink that also delivers clean, powerful nutrition. Our Iced Cinnamon Horchata Protein Smoothie is one of the easiest—and most delicious—ways to enjoy Mikuna’s Cinnamon Horchata Chocho Protein. With its naturally smooth texture, subtle sweetness, and hint of cinnamon, this recipe is perfect for warm days, post-workout recovery, or a quick breakfast you can take on the go.
Unlike traditional protein powders that rely on flavors, sweeteners, gums, or fillers, Mikuna uses just one ingredient: Chocho, an ancient Andean superfood known for its complete protein, high fiber content, and clean, easy digestion. That means this smoothie is more than refreshing—it’s nutrient-dense, whole-food fuel that supports energy, satiety, and taste all at once.
This recipe blends creamy almond milk, cold water, and ice with our Cinnamon Horchata protein for a naturally smooth, satisfying texture. The flavor is comforting and warm, yet refreshing over ice—a perfect balance of cozy and cool. Whether you’re starting your day or recharging in the afternoon, this smoothie delivers the clean nourishment your body needs.

Make It Your Own
This smoothie is fantastic as-is, but you can easily customize it depending on your goals or cravings:
• For extra creaminess: Add a splash more almond milk.
• For more sweetness: Blend in half a banana or a couple dates.
• For added richness: Add a spoonful of almond or cashew butter.
• For extra fiber: Add chia seeds or flaxseeds.
• For a café-style twist: Add a shot of cold brew for a Cinnamon Horchata Protein Latte.
Because Chocho has a naturally neutral, whole-food taste, it blends seamlessly with fruits, nuts, and plant milks without overpowering them.
