Helpful Tips
Let the coffee cool down. Hot coffee will melt the ice and change the texture of the smoothie. Prepare it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator!
Put the banana in the freezer. This will make the smoothie creamier and sweeter.
Blend in steps: To get a smoother blend, start with the softer and liquid ingredients.
Add a scoop of protein powder or collagen to give it more nutrition.
To get a thicker, frosty texture, use less coffee or add more ice.
Make your coffee the night before and put it in the fridge.
If you freeze banana slices ahead of time, making smoothies will be easier.
You can measure out the ingredients ahead of time and put them in a freezer bag for easy blending.
Variations & Alternatives
No coffee? You could switch to cold brew, decaf, or even chocolate almond milk.
No banana? Use ½ cup of frozen cauliflower or avocado to make it creamy without the banana taste.
Want more chocolate? Before blending, add a few chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Want more protein? Add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder to the mix.
Storing & Enjoying
Fresh is the best way to enjoy!
Put any leftovers in an ice cube tray and freeze them. Later, mix the frozen cubes with some milk to make a quick smoothie.
Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a day. Before you drink, shake it well.
