Description

A deliciously creamy smoothie made with espresso and bananas, perfect for a morning boost!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 frozen banana, cut into coins or halved
  • 2 oz espresso shots (2 shots)
  • 3/4 cup milk, of choice
  • 1/2 cup frozen milk cubes (*more as needed*)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate are great!)
  • 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter (*So delicious!!*)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 2 frozen bananas, sliced into coins or broken into pieces
  • 1 cup cold brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a blender, along with any additions, starting with the less amount of milk.
  2. Blend for a minute or so until smooth, adding a little more milk if needed. You want to start with less milk to keep the coffee thick and creamy.
  3. If you want it thicker, you can add a little extra banana or ice cubes.
  4. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
  5. NOTE: Using brewed coffee/cold brew will create a lighter coffee flavor (I prefer using espresso shots), but it’ll still work!
  6. Add the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy (along with protein powder, peanut butter, or any additional add-ins).
  7. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen bananas or ice cubes.
  • Feel free to adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup.
