Tips and Variations
- Make coffee ahead of time. Make a batch and put it in the fridge so you can easily make smoothies.
- Put your banana in the freezer. This will make the smoothie even thicker and creamier.
- Mix the chia seeds well. They will thicken with time, so drink them soon away or whisk them if they sit.
- Want extra protein? Add protein powder. A scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder works well.
- Make it decaf: Use decaf coffee if you’re making it for youngsters or want to avoid caffeine.
- Make coffee the night before and let it cool.
- For a thicker texture, freeze banana slices ahead of time.
- If you don’t like the taste of bananas, you can use 1/2 cup of frozen cauliflower or yogurt instead.
- If you don’t want to use dairy, you can use coconut milk or oat milk.
- If you have flaxseeds instead of chia seeds, use them instead.
- For a mocha flavor, add cocoa powder!
- You can keep leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours, but they taste best when they are fresh. Before you drink, shake it up!
