Description

This creamy coffee smoothie is the perfect energizing breakfast or snack to kickstart your day. Made with frozen bananas, cold brew coffee concentrate, almond butter, and a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, it combines rich coffee flavor with natural sweetness and creamy texture for a delightful and healthy treat.

Ingredients

Smoothie Ingredients

  • 1½ frozen bananas
  • ½ to ¾ cup cold brew coffee concentrate, to taste
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
  • 3 soft Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for garnish
  • 2 handfuls of ice
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen bananas, cold brew coffee concentrate, almond milk, Medjool dates (pitted), almond butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ice, and chocolate shavings.
  2. Combine in Blender: In a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, add the frozen bananas, cold brew coffee concentrate, almond milk, pitted dates, almond butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  3. Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add more almond milk gradually to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Add Ice and Blend Again: Add the ice to the blender, then blend again until the smoothie is cold and creamy with a frothy texture.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses. Garnish by dusting with cinnamon and sprinkling chocolate shavings on top. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe frozen bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • Adjust cold brew coffee concentrate quantity depending on desired coffee strength.
  • Medjool dates add natural sweetness; ensure they are pitted before use.
  • Add almond milk slowly to control smoothie thickness.
  • Chocolate shavings add a decorative and flavor-enhancing touch but are optional.
  • This smoothie is best consumed immediately to enjoy optimal flavor and texture.
