Ingredients for Coffee Banana Smoothie
Cold Brew Coffee You can purchase cold brew concentrate, or simply make your own by steeping 2/3 cup coffee ground and 4 cups water overnight and straining in the morning. You could also use regular coffee for this coffee banana smoothie recipe if you prefer.
Almond Milk adds just a hint of almond flavor and creaminess. You could also substitute with other milks like dairy, hemp, oat, etc.
Frozen Banana adds thickness and sweetness. If you don’t have a frozen banana and really want to make this recipe right now you can substitute with a non-frozen banana and just add ice, but using a frozen banana is recommended!
Collagen Powder adds protein. I like to use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, but any collagen powder will do. You could also substitute with other protein powders, but I personally think collagen powder is best because the flavor isn’t too strong, especially when combined with coffee.
Chia Seeds add a little fiber and Oemga-3s.
Cocoa Power adds just a hint of chocolate flavor.
How To Make Coffee Banana Smoothie
Making this smoothie is simple. It is a single serve recipe, so I like to use the personal adapter cup on my Vitamix, but any blender should do. First, gather your ingredients. Start by adding the cold brew and almond milk, and then add the banana, cocoa powder, collagen powder, and chia seeds. The reason for adding the liquids first is because I’ve learned from experience that if you add the dry powders or seeds first they never fully mix in and can stick to the bottom of the blender.
Once you have added all the ingredients in the correct order to your blender, simply blend until everything is fully mixed. If the result is not as thick as you’d like, add an ice cube or two until you have the desired consistency. If it is too thick, add a little more cold brew or almond milk. That’s it!
