Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, dairy, or coconut milk)
  • 1 ripe banana or 1/4 avocado

Sweeteners

  • 1–2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or soaked dates

Optional Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup ice cubes or frozen berries
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • A handful of spinach or kale (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew and Chill Your Coffee: Start with freshly brewed strong coffee. Allow it to cool completely or use leftover cold brew to prevent watering down your smoothie.
  2. Add Creamy Base Ingredients: Pour your choice of milk or milk alternative into the blender along with banana or avocado to create that rich, thick smoothie texture.
  3. Add Sweetener and Flavor Enhancers: Include your desired sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or soaked dates, and any spices or extracts like vanilla or cinnamon for extra taste complexity.
  4. Blend with Ice or Frozen Fruit: Add ice cubes or frozen berries to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting thickness by adding more liquid as needed.
  5. Taste and Serve Immediately: Give your coffee smoothie a taste and adjust sweetness or richness before pouring into your favorite glass and enjoying straight away.

Notes

  • Use cold coffee to avoid watering down your smoothie.
  • Freeze bananas in advance for added creaminess and natural sweetness.
  • Start with less sweetener and add more if needed for balanced flavor.
  • Adjust frozen fruit quantity to achieve desired thickness.
  • Use a high-powered blender for smooth texture without grit.
