Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled or cold brew concentrate
- 1 frozen banana, broken into chunks
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional, for flavor and fat)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 4–6 ice cubes (adjust for desired thickness)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener (optional, like maple syrup or honey)
Instructions
- Brew your coffee and chill it completely, or use cold brew concentrate.
- Place the chilled coffee, frozen banana chunks, protein powder, peanut butter (if using), and milk into your blender.
- Add the ice cubes.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Taste the smoothie. Add sweetener if you prefer it sweeter, and blend for a few more seconds.
- Pour immediately into a glass and serve. This recipe is great for busy mornings when you need a fast, satisfying smoothie.
Notes
- For a mocha flavor, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder before blending.
