Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat milk)
- 1 ripe banana (frozen for a thicker texture)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie)
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew 1/2 cup of coffee using your preferred method and allow it to cool to room temperature. You can prepare this in advance and refrigerate to save time.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the cooled coffee, milk, frozen banana, rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using) into a blender. Include ice cubes if you desire a colder, thicker smoothie.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds or until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Adjust texture by adding more milk or ice cubes as needed.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of additional honey. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana and add ice cubes.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a vegan option.
- Sweetness can be adjusted by adding more or less honey or maple syrup based on preference.
- Oats add fiber and texture but can be omitted if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
- Prepare the coffee ahead of time and keep it chilled to speed up smoothie preparation in the morning.
