Coffee Smoothie

This Coffee Smoothie is a creamy, chilled, and energizing blend of banana, coffee, milk, and nut butter—perfect for busy mornings or a cool caffeine fix.

Ingredients

  • Brewed Coffee or Cold Brew: 1/2 to 3/4 cup – Chilled, to bring caffeine and depth of flavor.
  • Frozen Banana: 1 large or 1–1½ cups – Adds natural sweetness and creamy texture.
  • Almond Milk (or other milk): 1/2 cup – Helps everything blend smoothly.
  • Nut Butter (almond or peanut): 1 tablespoon – Adds richness and staying power.
  • Medjool Dates (optional): 2–3 – Natural sweetener for a caramel-like note.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon – Brings warm, dessert-like flavor.
  • Cinnamon: Pinch – Adds warmth and spice.
  • Optional Oats or Protein Powder: 1 scoop or 1/4 cup – To make it a filling meal.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Not needed—just prep your chilled coffee ahead.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add coffee, banana, milk, nut butter, dates (if using), vanilla, and cinnamon into the blender.
  3. Blend: Start slow, increase speed until smooth. Add more milk if needed.
  4. Adjust: Taste and tweak—more coffee for boldness, more sweetener for dessert vibes.
  5. Optional Extras: Throw in ice, protein powder, oats, or cocoa powder and blend again.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Pour into a glass or jar and sip chilled, garnished with cinnamon or nut butter drizzle if desired.

Notes

  • Always use frozen banana for thick, ice-free creaminess.
  • Chill your coffee ahead to avoid a watered-down smoothie.
  • Start with less liquid and add more as needed for your perfect thickness.
  • Add oats or protein to make it breakfast-worthy and more filling.
