- Combine Ingredients: Add coffee, banana, milk, nut butter, dates (if using), vanilla, and cinnamon into the blender.
- Blend: Start slow, increase speed until smooth. Add more milk if needed.

- 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.
