Creamy Coffee Banana Smoothie.
🥤 Ingredients
Item Quantity Note
Frozen Banana 1 large Provides the creamy, ice-cream-like texture.
Chilled Coffee 1/2 cup Brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled).
Milk of choice 1/2 cup Almond, oat, or dairy milk work best.
Greek Yogurt 1/4 cup Adds protein and extra thickness.
Nut Butter 1 tbsp Almond or peanut butter (optional, for richness).
Honey or Maple 1 tsp Optional, depending on banana ripeness.
Ice Cubes 1 small handful To keep it frost-chilled.
🥣 Instructions
Prep the Coffee: Ensure your coffee is cold or at least room temperature. Using hot coffee will melt the frozen banana and make the smoothie watery.
Combine: Add the frozen banana slices, chilled coffee, milk, yogurt, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and those dark “coffee speckles” are evenly distributed.
Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If too thin, add another frozen banana chunk or more ice.
Garnish: Pour into a glass. As seen in your photo, top with a few whole roasted coffee beans and serve with some fresh banana slices on the side.
Pro Tip: For an extra energy boost, you can add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder to make this a full meal replacement!
