Prepare 1 cup of brewed coffee and allow it to cool completely. You can brew the coffee ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator.
Peel a large banana, slice it into chunks, and freeze it for at least 2 hours or overnight for a creamy smoothie texture.
In a blender, combine chilled coffee, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, milk, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add 4 ice cubes to the blender for additional chill and thickness.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses and enjoy immediately.
