Description
Start your day right with this Morning Coffee Smoothie – a delicious and energizing blend of coffee, bananas, oats, and a hint of sweetness. It’s the perfect healthy alternative to your regular cup of coffee!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat milk)
- 1 ripe banana (frozen for a thicker texture)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie)
Instructions
-
Brew the Coffee:
- Brew 1/2 cup of coffee and let it cool down to room temperature. You can brew it in advance and store it in the fridge to speed up the process.
-
Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, frozen banana, rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Add a few ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker texture.
-
Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend everything on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until smooth and creamy. Add extra milk or ice if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
-
Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of extra honey.
Notes
- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or Greek yogurt.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjust the amount of honey or syrup based on your taste preference.
- You can substitute the banana with frozen cauliflower florets for a low-carb alternative while still maintaining a creamy texture.
- If you’re using a high-powered blender, you can even blend the coffee while it’s still hot.
