Coffee Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brewed coffee
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder optional
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional
Instructions
- Make coffee ahead and let it cool completely. Store in the fridge.
- Freeze a peeled banana for at least 2 hours.
- Put frozen banana pieces in the blender.
- Add cold coffee and milk.
- Add peanut butter, cocoa powder, and honey.
- Add ice cubes and protein powder if using.
- Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth.
- Check thickness. Add more milk if too thick or more ice if too thin.
- Pour into a glass and drink immediately.
Notes
- Always use cold coffee — hot coffee will make it watery
- Freeze bananas ahead of time for the best texture
- Use strong coffee — regular strength tastes weak in smoothies
- Start with less milk and add more if needed
- Add protein powder for extra nutrition after workouts
- Make coffee the night before and store in the fridge
- Prep ingredients ahead — just blend in the morning
- Any milk works — choose based on your preference
