Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or sweetener of choice
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 medium banana, frozen
- 6 pieces ice cubes
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- ground cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool completely. For quicker cooling, you can refrigerate it or use leftover coffee from earlier in the day.
In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, frozen banana, and ice cubes.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or sweetener to your liking.
Divide the smoothie evenly between two glasses.
Top with whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or cocoa powder for garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon and enjoy your refreshing cappuccino smoothie!
