Creamy Coffee Smoothie

Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time7 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of strong brewed coffee chilled (or a shot of espresso)
  • 1 frozen banana this is the key to creaminess
  • ½ cup of Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk yogurt
  • ½ cup of milk dairy, almond, oat, or your choice
  • 1 tablespoon of nut butter peanut or almond work great
  • 1-2 pitted dates or a drizzle of maple syrup for natural sweetness optional
  • A handful of ice cubes if you want it extra cold and thick
  • Optional boosters: A scoop of protein powder a pinch of cinnamon, or a handful of spinach (trust me, you won't taste it).

Instructions

  • Brew your coffee and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.
  • Using hot coffee will melt your ingredients and give you a sad, watery mess.
  • Add the chilled coffee, frozen banana, yogurt, milk, and nut butter to your blender. If you’re using any sweeteners or boosters, toss those in too.
  • Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 60-90 seconds.
  • If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
  • Pour into a glass, add a straw, and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor. Congratulations, you’ve just made a weekday feel like a weekend.
