🛒 Ingredients

Here’s a classic version of a coffee banana smoothie, but we’ll also include variations later.

Base Ingredients:

1 cup cold brewed coffee (or chilled regular coffee)
1 ripe banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for protein and creaminess)
1/2 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for a warm flavor)
1/2 cup ice cubes (for a chilled, thick texture)

🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions

🥤 Step 1: Brew and Chill Your Coffee

Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, or espresso).
Let it cool completely. You can store it in the fridge for 30 minutes or use leftover morning coffee.

Tip: For best results, use cold brew coffee for a smoother and less acidic taste.

🍌 Step 2: Prepare Your Banana

Peel and slice a ripe banana.
You can freeze the banana slices ahead of time for a creamier, thicker smoothie. If not, fresh works fine with added ice.
