Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie bowl combining coffee, vanilla protein powder, and banana for a creamy, energizing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed strong coffee, cooled
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 medium banana, peeled, sliced and frozen
  • ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 3–4 ice cubes
  • Optional toppings: granola, sliced almonds, chia seeds, fresh berries, cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Brew about 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee and let it cool completely. For thicker texture, freeze some coffee into ice cubes ahead of time.
  2. Peel and slice one medium banana and freeze it for at least 2 hours for creamy, icy texture.
  3. Measure out 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon.
  4. Add cooled coffee, frozen banana slices, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and 3-4 ice cubes into a blender.
  5. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until thick, creamy, and smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or ice cubes as needed.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired. For stronger coffee flavor, add a splash more cold brewed coffee and blend again.
  7. Pour smoothie into a serving bowl and top with your choice of granola, sliced almonds, fresh berries, chia seeds, or cacao nibs.
  8. Enjoy immediately with a spoon.

Notes

Freeze banana slices beforehand for best creamy texture. Use cold brewed coffee or freeze coffee into ice cubes to avoid dilution. Blend liquids and protein powder first, then add frozen ingredients and ice last. Adjust sweetness last and in small amounts. Store smoothie base in fridge up to 24 hours; re-blend before serving.
