🧋 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.
The peanut butter: I was skeptical too, but it goes really well with coffee
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:
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.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
