Description
This Coffee Smoothie blends bold coffee with creamy banana and milk (or yogurt) for an energizing, indulgent smoothie that tastes like a frothy iced coffee treat but with added richness.
Ingredients
½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 banana (fresh or frozen)
½ cup plain yogurt or milk (dairy or plant-based)
Optional: ½ cup ice cubes (for a thicker texture with fresh banana)
Optional sweetener: 1–2 tsp honey, maple syrup, or sugar (to taste)
Optional add‑ins: protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter, or cinnamon
Instructions
- Chill brewed coffee completely before blending.
- Add cooled coffee, banana, yogurt (or milk), and sweetener (if using) to a blender.
- Add ice cubes if using fresh banana or for extra thickness.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, scraping down sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust—add more sweetener if needed or add more milk or ice to change thickness.
- Pour into a tall glass. Sprinkle with cinnamon, cocoa powder, or garnish with coffee beans if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use cold brew coffee for a smoother, less acidic flavor.
Substitute avocado or extra yogurt for a low‑sugar/extra creamy version.
Add protein powder, peanut butter, or cocoa powder for more flavor and nutrition.
Enhance with vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg for aromatic depth.
Blend fresh per serving for best texture—separation may occur if stored too long.
