Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brewed coffee cooled
  • 1 large banana frozen and sliced
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 2 scoops vanilla or chocolate protein powder 60 g total
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter optional, for creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 set Measuring cups and spoons
  • 2 Tall glasses

Method
 

  1. Brew the coffee ahead of time and allow it to cool completely. For a colder smoothie, you can chill it in the refrigerator.
  2. Add the cooled coffee, frozen banana slices, almond milk, protein powder, almond butter (if using), honey or maple syrup (if using), and ground cinnamon to your blender.
  3. Add the ice cubes to the blender.
  4. Blend on high for about 45 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again until your desired consistency.
  6. Pour into two tall glasses and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For a mocha flavor, use chocolate protein powder.
Swap almond milk for oat, soy, or dairy milk to suit your preferences.
For an extra energy boost, add a teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds before blending.
For a vegan option, be sure to use plant-based protein powder and maple syrup instead of honey.
