INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:

• 1 cup cold brew coffee – I use smooth, chilled cold brew for that rich coffee flavor and caffeine kick.
• 1 frozen banana – Adds natural sweetness and makes the smoothie extra creamy.
• ½ cup Greek yogurt – I go for plain or vanilla to make it thick and give it a protein boost.
• 1 tablespoon almond butter – Gives a nutty flavor and helps keep me full longer.
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed – I like to sneak this in for fiber and healthy fats.
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional) – If I want it a bit sweeter, I’ll drizzle just a touch in.
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon – A warm spice that pairs really well with coffee.
• ½ cup ice – I throw in a little ice to make it nice and cold and frothy.

FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Recipe Variations and Swaps:

• Use almond or oat milk instead of yogurt for a dairy-free version.
• Swap the coffee for cold brew if you want a smoother, less acidic flavor.
• Throw in a scoop of protein powder for extra fuel.
• Use frozen banana for a thicker texture.

LEFTOVER STORAGE:

I pour any leftover coffee smoothie into a mason jar or airtight container. Then I pop it in the fridge—it stays good for about a day. Just give it a shake before drinking because it might separate a little.
