Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Cold Brew Coffee (chilled)
- 1 medium Banana (peeled, preferably frozen)
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Almond Milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1/2 cup Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Prepare Your Coffee: Brew fresh coffee and allow it to cool completely or use pre-made chilled cold brew coffee to avoid diluting the smoothie when blending with ice.
- Combine Ingredients: Add cold brew coffee, peeled banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into a blender. Add ice cubes last to keep the mixture chilled and thick.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is silky smooth and frothy. Pause to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample your smoothie and add more sweetener or almond milk if needed. Pulse blend briefly again to combine any additions evenly.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or travel cup and enjoy a refreshing, energizing start to your day.
Notes
- Use cold brew coffee for a smoother, less acidic flavor.
- Freezing banana chunks enhances creaminess without extra ice.
- Greek yogurt boosts protein and thickens the smoothie.
- Add sweeteners gradually to achieve your preferred sweetness.
- Optional boosters like chia seeds, flaxseed, cinnamon, or nutmeg add flavor and health benefits.
