Notes

Ingredient Notes

Milk. Any milk works well - almond milk, coconut milk, whole milk, 2% etc.
Brewed Coffee (chilled). This recipe is a great way to use leftover coffee. Or, you can use cold brew or coffee ice cubes.
Frozen banana. for a thick and creamy smoothie I recommend using a frozen banana.
Chocolate protein powder. Choose your favorite variety. This adds both flavor and nutritious to this recipe. You can substitute 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder for the protein powder.
Honey. maple syrup or agave are good substitutes.
Ice. if you aren't using coffee ice cubes, use ice to make it thick and cold.

Store/Freeze

I recommend enjoying this coffee smoothie immediately after serving. However, you can store leftover coffee smoothie in a glass jar with a lid for up to 1 day in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
