Make this easy, creamy coffee smoothie in five minutes. It combines cold brew coffee, banana, and protein powder for a satisfying, energizing breakfast replacement that tastes like a treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee, strong or chilled espresso
  • 1 large frozen banana, broken into chunks
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for mocha flavor)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 4–6 ice cubes (adjust for desired thickness)
  • Sweetener to taste (e.g., 1 teaspoon maple syrup or stevia)

Instructions

  1. Pour the cold brew coffee and almond milk into your blender.
  2. Add the frozen banana chunks, protein powder, chia/flax seeds, and cocoa powder (if using).
  3. Add the ice cubes last.
  4. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  5. Taste the smoothie and add sweetener if desired, then blend for a few more seconds to incorporate.
  6. Pour immediately into a glass and serve.

Notes

  • For a thicker, colder smoothie, use pre-frozen coffee cubes instead of ice cubes.
  • If you skip the banana, add 1/4 avocado or 2 tablespoons of nut butter for creaminess.
  • This recipe is a great alternative to expensive coffee shop drinks and fits well with general meal planning goals.
  • For a peanut butter mocha version, substitute 1 tablespoon of peanut butter for the cocoa powder.
