Ingredients
1 large frozen banana
½ cup brewed coffee, chilled
½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. Prepare your coffee: Ensure brewed coffee is chilled. If not, add extra ice. 2. Gather all ingredients. 3. Pour chilled coffee and milk into blender first. 4. Add frozen banana, peanut butter, optional sweetener, and vanilla. Add ice if using. 5. Blend on low then high until smooth and creamy. Add more milk or coffee if too thick; more ice or banana if too thin. 6. Taste and adjust sweetness. 7. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, always use frozen bananas. Chill coffee beforehand. Layer liquids first, then solids. Use a high-speed blender for smoothest results. For a thicker smoothie, add extra ice, chia seeds, or rolled oats. For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder. To make ahead, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake or re-blend before serving.
