Recipe: PB-Banana Coffee Smoothie

pb-banana coffee smoothie in a glass with the ingredients around it

🧋 I know this recipe sounds weird for a few reasons, but trust me, it’s DELICIOUS and it makes a quick & easy light breakfast on the go.

  1. The peanut butter: I was skeptical too, but it goes really well with coffee

  2. Yes, that’s regular ground coffee, not instant. It gives a nice “crunch” to your smoothie.

TIP: If you want to boost the staying powder of this smoothie, add ½ to 1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder! 🍌

Makes 1 smoothie.

 

Ingredients:

  • ½ tbsp ground coffee 

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ¾ cup (180 ml) of your milk of choice

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) brewed coffee, chilled

  • ½ frozen ripe banana (the riper, the sweeter)

  • ice, as needed to thicken

  • OPTIONAL: Add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to sweeten if necessary

 

Directions:

  1. Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Add more ice (if it’s too thin) or milk (if it’s too thick) to reach your desired consistency. 

  2. Serve immediately and enjoy!
