Ingredients
Grab these simple ingredients to make your delicious Coffee Smoothie:
Banana: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess.
Brewed Coffee: Provides that essential caffeine kick.
Milk: Choose your favorite—dairy or non-dairy for a creamy texture.
Peanut Butter: Adds richness and protein to keep you full.
Honey: A touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
How to Make the Coffee Smoothi
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the banana, brewed coffee, milk, peanut butter, and honey.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed until everything is well combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, feel free to add a splash more milk.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Give your smoothie a quick taste test. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey and blend again.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Pour the smoothie into a glass, and if you’re feeling fancy, top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of extra peanut butter. Enjoy immediately!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Frozen Banana: For an extra creamy texture, use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one. It’ll give your smoothie a delightful chill!
Experiment with Flavors: Add a dash of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.
Protein Boost: If you want more protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
How to Serve
This Coffee Smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but it’s also delicious as a post-workout treat or a mid-afternoon snack. Pair it with a slice of whole-grain toast or a handful of nuts for a well-rounded meal!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
While smoothies are best enjoyed immediately, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick shake or stir before enjoying.
Freezing
You can also freeze your smoothie! Pour it into an ice cube tray or freezer-safe container for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight or blend it again with a splash of milk for a refreshing treat.
Reheating
If you prefer your smoothie warm (like a coffee), consider gently warming it on the stovetop, but be careful not to overheat it.
