It’s ideal for post-workout recovery, breakfast on-the-go, or any time you want your coffee and your fuel in one ice-cold glass.

Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

• ¾ cup cold brew or strong chilled coffee
• ½ cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
• 1 large frozen banana
• 1 scoop vanilla, chocolate, or mocha protein powder
• 1 tbsp nut butter (optional for richness)
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
• 1 cup ice (more for thicker texture)
• Pinch of cinnamon or sea salt (optional)

Optional Add-Ins

• 1 tbsp oats or chia seeds
• 1 tsp cocoa powder for mocha vibes
• Splash of vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein

Instructions

1. Add coffee, milk, banana, protein powder, ice, and any extras to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until thick, smooth, and creamy.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or texture — add more ice or frozen banana for a thicker shake.
4. Pour into a tall glass, and enjoy immediately with a wide straw or spoon.

Flavor Variations

🍫 Mocha Banana Shake

• Use chocolate protein and 1 tsp cocoa powder
• Top with cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips

🧂 Salted Peanut Butter Coffee Shake

• Add peanut butter and a pinch of sea salt
• Great with oat milk or chocolate protein

🥥 Coconut Banana Latte

• Use coconut milk + shredded coconut
• Add cinnamon and vanilla for a tropical twist

Pro Tips

• For ultra-thick texture, use frozen coffee cubes instead of ice
• Ripe bananas = better sweetness and smoother blend
• Use less milk and more frozen ingredients for spoon-thick consistency
• Want to make it a full meal? Add oats or double the protein scoop
