- ½ cup of milk or any other kind of milk
- ¼ cup of Greek yogurt (for extra protein)
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 to 5 ice cubes (for a thick, icy texture)
- Optional: whipped cream and more cinnamon on the top
Tools Needed
- Mixer
- Spoons and cups for measuring

Preparation Tips
Make your coffee ahead of time and cool it down.
Put bananas in a bag, cut them up, and freeze them so they’re ready to go in the blender.
The night before, mix everything except the ice and put it in the fridge. In the morning, add the ice and mix again!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make your coffee and let it cool.
Make your favorite coffee and let it cool all the way down. The colder it is, the better! - Put Everything in the Blender
Put the cooled coffee, frozen banana, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ice cubes in a blender.
- Mix until smooth
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a little milk if it seems too thick. If it’s too thin, add additional ice and combine it again. - Serve and pour
Pour into a tall glass, add whipped cream and a little additional cinnamon on top, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Use cold coffee to keep the smoothie from getting runny. Make it the night before and put it in the fridge to cool down.
- ✅Don’t overlook this step: frozen bananas make it rich and creamy. Add more ice if your banana isn’t frozen.
- Want more protein? Put in a scoop of protein powder that tastes like vanilla or cinnamon.
- ✓You can change the sweetness to your desire by using maple syrup, honey, or even a Medjool date.
- Before serving, pour some caramel or cinnamon sugar on top for a special touch!
- If you don’t want dairy, you can use almond or coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- No banana in the freezer? Instead, use ½ cup of frozen cauliflower or more ice.
- Want it without caffeine? You can drink decaf coffee or switch to almond milk with a little bit of espresso powder.
- For a real cinnamon roll flavor, add a dollop of cream cheese to the mix.
- You should drink this smoothie right away, but if you have some left over, you may keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Before you consume it, shake it well!
- You can also freeze it as smoothie pops. Just pour it into popsicle molds and freeze it for a fun snack!
