Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Dairy and Protein

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or coffee-flavored protein powder

Fruits and Sweeteners

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 2 dates (pitted)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Others

  • 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
  • Ice (as needed)


Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the strong brewed coffee, milk, plain Greek yogurt, frozen banana, almond or peanut butter, maple syrup, pitted dates, protein powder, and vanilla extract into a blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined without lumps.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk; if too thin, add ice cubes. Blend briefly to integrate the additional liquid or ice.
  4. Serve: Pour the creamy coffee smoothie into a glass and garnish if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee that has cooled slightly to prevent melting the ice too quickly.
  • Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess; fresh banana can be used but may affect texture.
  • Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or dates according to taste preference.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
  • Protein powder flavor can be chosen to complement the coffee, such as vanilla or coffee flavor.
  • Adding ice increases thickness and chill, but use based on your preference.
