Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chilled strong brewed coffee
- 1 large frozen banana, sliced
- 1 scoop (approx. 25-30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tbsp unsalted nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
- 1–2 tbsp milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy), plus more if needed
- Optional: 1-2 tsp maple syrup, honey, or preferred sweetener, to taste
- Optional Toppings: Granola, fresh berries, chia seeds, cacao nibs, shredded coconut, a drizzle of honey or chocolate syrup
Instructions
- 1. Gather Ingredients: Have all your chilled coffee, frozen banana, protein powder, Greek yogurt, nut butter, and milk ready near your blender.
- 2. Blend Base: Add the coffee and milk to your high-speed blender first, followed by the frozen banana, protein powder, Greek yogurt, and nut butter. Start blending on low, then increase to high, using a tamper to push ingredients down until smooth and thick.
- 3. Adjust Consistency: If your blender struggles, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it blends. Aim for a very thick, soft-serve ice cream consistency. Add optional sweetener now if desired and blend briefly.
- 4. Pour & Top: Spoon the smooth smoothie base into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings immediately and serve to enjoy the best creamy texture.
