Method
 

  1. Brew your favorite coffee and allow it to cool completely. For the best results and a less watery smoothie, use cold brew coffee or strongly brewed coffee that has been refrigerated. Measure out 1 cup.
    1 cup cold brewed coffee (or strongly brewed, cooled coffee)
  2. Pour the 1 cup of cooled coffee into your blender. Follow this by adding 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk).

  3. Add 1/4 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt. This not only adds a luscious creamy texture but also a significant protein boost to keep you feeling fuller longer.

  4. Toss in 1 ripe banana that has been peeled, sliced, and frozen. Frozen banana is key to achieving that thick, milkshake-like consistency without needing excessive ice.

  5. Spoon in 1 tablespoon of almond butter (or peanut butter if you prefer). This adds a delightful nutty depth and beneficial healthy fats, contributing to the smoothie's satiating qualities.

  6. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of chia seeds. These little powerhouses are packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and will help thicken the smoothie further.

  7. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This subtle yet impactful ingredient rounds out the flavors and adds a lovely aroma.

  8. If you're looking for an extra protein punch, add 1/2 scoop of your favorite protein powder now. For a richer flavor, consider a dash of cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa powder. If your banana wasn't frozen or you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie, add 1-2 ice cubes.

  9. Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are completely combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to ensure everything is incorporated.
  10. Pour your delicious Coffee Breakfast Smoothie: Perfect Morning Fuel into a glass and enjoy!
