Ingredients

Scale

Smoothie Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cold strong brewed coffee
  • ½ cup whole milk or almond milk
  • 2 medium frozen ripe bananas, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup crushed ice cubes

Optional Garnish

  • Canned whipped cream


Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: Pour the cold brewed coffee, milk (whole or almond), frozen banana cubes, honey, unsweetened cacao powder, and crushed ice cubes into a blender bowl.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the ingredients a few times to break them up, then blend continuously for 20 to 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and top with canned whipped cream if desired for a delicious finish.

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee and ensure it is cold for best flavor and texture.
  • Frozen bananas add natural sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie.
  • Almond milk is a great dairy-free option to reduce calories and fat.
  • Adjust honey amount to taste based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • The cacao powder adds a rich chocolate flavor; unsweetened versions keep it healthier.
  • The crushed ice creates a thicker, chilled consistency but can be adjusted as preferred.
  • Whipped cream garnish is optional but adds a creamy, indulgent touch.
