Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Start by brewing your coffee and allowing it to cool completely. You can use leftover coffee or brew fresh coffee and chill it in the refrigerator beforehand.
In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, frozen banana, ice cubes, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder (if using).
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a splash more coffee or milk to adjust the consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding an extra teaspoon of maple syrup or sweetener of your choice. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
Pour the smoothie evenly into two serving glasses.
Optionally, top with whipped cream for an indulgent finish. Sprinkle with a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon for added flair.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
