Cold Brew Banana Smoothie 🍌☕ Creamy, Caffeinated, and Naturally Sweet

— The Chillest Way to Power Your Day

This Cold Brew Banana Smoothie is a rich, velvety blend of chilled coffee, frozen banana, and protein-packed ingredients that tastes like a mocha milkshake but fuels like a breakfast. It’s perfect for busy mornings, post-workout refuels, or those hot days when you want your caffeine cold and your fuel smooth.

Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

• ¾ cup cold brew coffee (or strong brewed coffee, chilled)
• ½ cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 scoop vanilla or mocha protein powder
• 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½–1 cup ice (depending on how thick you like it)

Optional Add-Ins

• 1 tbsp chia or flax seeds
• 1–2 tbsp oats for extra fiber
• Dash of vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt for balance
• Cocoa powder for a mocha twist

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender: cold brew, milk, frozen banana, protein powder, nut butter, cinnamon, ice, and any optional extras.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness as needed.
4. Pour into a chilled glass or shaker and sip immediately.

Flavor Variations

🍫 Mocha Banana

• Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder or use chocolate protein powder
• Use chocolate almond milk for extra indulgence

🥥 Coconut Cold Brew

• Use coconut milk and a spoonful of shredded coconut
• Add a splash of vanilla extract

🍯 Salted Banana Caramel

• Use caramel protein powder + a pinch of sea salt
• Sweeten with date syrup or brown sugar

Pro Tips

• Freeze extra coffee into ice cubes for maximum chill without dilution
• Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess
• Great as a pre- or post-workout fuel with protein + carbs
• Add a handful of spinach — it disappears into the flavor and boosts nutrients

Final Thoughts

The Cold Brew Banana Smoothie is everything you want in a morning blend: cold, creamy, coffee-forward, and satisfying without feeling heavy. It’s like a breakfast, iced coffee, and protein shake all in one chilled glass.

Fuel your morning. Chill your vibe. Sip strong. 🍌☕🥤
