Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- ¾ cup brewed coffee (chilled for best results)
- ¼ cup milk (any variety – dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- Handful of ice for a thicker, colder texture
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- Dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp chia or flax seeds for added fiber
Instructions
- Brew & Chill: Brew your preferred coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature, or place it in the fridge for about 10 to 15 minutes until chilled for best texture and flavor.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add the ripe banana, chilled brewed coffee, milk of choice, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), protein powder, ice, dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder, and chia or flax seeds. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup. Consume immediately to enjoy its fresh flavor and refreshing texture.
Notes
- For a vegan smoothie, replace honey with maple syrup and use plant-based milk.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup according to your preference.
- Use chilled coffee to prevent ice melting too quickly, keeping the smoothie thick and cold.
- Add more ice cubes for an extra frosty texture.
- Protein powder is optional but adds a protein boost for a more filling drink.
- Chia or flax seeds enhance fiber content and add a nutritional boost.
