🥄 Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for a simple, balanced version:
1 cup brewed coffee, cooled (or cold brew)
1 frozen banana (for natural sweetness and creaminess)
½ cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower)
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate work great – optional)
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but recommended!)
Ice cubes (if needed for extra thickness)
Optional sweetener: honey, maple syrup, or a pitted date
🧊 Optional Add-Ins & Variations
✅ Oats (¼ cup) for added fiber and fullness
✅ Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and extra protein
✅ Chia seeds or flaxseeds for omega-3s and fiber
✅ Cocoa powder for a mocha twist
✅ Spinach — yes, really! You won’t taste it, but you’ll boost the nutrients
✅ Collagen powder — great for skin, joints, and hair health
👩🍳 How to Make It
Step 1: Brew your coffee in advance and let it cool. Cold brew works perfectly too.
Step 2: Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness to your preference.
Step 4: Pour into your favorite to-go cup or mason jar and enjoy!
🧡 Tips for Success
Make it ahead: Brew and chill your coffee the night before for quicker prep.
Want it thicker? Use less milk or add more ice or frozen banana.
Need more sweetness? Add honey, dates, or vanilla extract.
No banana? Try frozen cauliflower (yes, it works!) or avocado for creaminess without the sugar.
Protein boost? Protein powder or Greek yogurt works wonders.
