Make this energizing coffee smoothie for a quick, nutritious breakfast or a satisfying on-the-go meal replacement. It delivers bold coffee flavor with a creamy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold brewed coffee or chilled espresso
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (for creaminess and protein)
  • 1 frozen banana (optional, for sweetness and thickness)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–6 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee or espresso and let it cool completely, or use leftover chilled coffee.
  2. Place the cold coffee, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, frozen banana (if using), almond butter, and sweetener (if using) into a high-speed blender.
  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 needed.
  5. Taste the smoothie. Add more sweetener if desired, or a splash more milk if it is too thick.
  6. Pour immediately into a glass or travel cup and enjoy your energizing drink.

Notes

  • For a no-banana version, substitute the frozen banana with 1/4 cup rolled oats and an extra 1/2 cup of ice to maintain thickness.
  • To make this a make-ahead smoothie, prepare all ingredients except the ice and blend the night before. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add ice and blend again right before serving in the morning.
  • Use strong coffee or double-shot espresso for the most intense coffee flavor.
