Description
A quick, creamy, and energizing breakfast smoothie made with frozen bananas, cold brew coffee, and protein powder. Perfect for busy mornings, this drink provides sustained energy and tastes like a milkshake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large frozen banana
- 1 cup cold brew coffee or strong espresso (cooled)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Take frozen bananas out of the freezer and let them sit for 30 seconds to soften slightly if very hard. Peel and break into chunks.
- Add banana chunks to the blender jar. Pour in the cold brew coffee or cooled espresso.
- Add the scoop of vanilla protein powder to the blender.
- Secure the lid tightly and start the blender on low speed to break up the frozen fruit.
- Gradually increase speed to high and blend for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Check consistency; if too thick, add a splash of coffee or water. If too thin, add ice or more frozen banana.
- Pour immediately into a travel mug or glass and serve.
Notes
Always use frozen bananas for a thick, creamy texture. Ensure coffee is completely cold to prevent melting the bananas. Clean the blender immediately after use as protein powder dries quickly. For meal prep, freeze banana chunks and pre-measure protein powder.
