Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee cooled first
- 1 frozen banana ripe is preferred
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 Medjool date pit removed
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder can be optional
- ½ cup milk of choice coconut or almond
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ½ cup ice cubes optional
Optional toppings:
- shaved chocolate or coconut whipped cream
Instructions
- Add all the smoothie ingredients into a high-powered blender. (1 cup brewed coffee, 1 frozen banana, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 Medjool date, 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder, ½ cup milk of choice, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and ½ cup ice cubes)
- Blend for 2-3 minutes until it looks smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
- At this point, if the smoothie is too thick to your liking, add another ¼ cup of milk and blend again.
- Pour into jars or cups, top with shaved chocolate, and enjoy.
Notes
- Using a frozen banana is best to make a smoothie that is cold and thick. Sometimes ice doesn’t blend as well and can dilute the flavor, so it’s best to skip it unless necessary.
- You may use any protein of your choice or skip it.
