Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup brewed coffee, chilled Use strong-brewed or cold brew.
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk Or milk of choice.
  • 1 cup frozen banana slices Frozen for extra creaminess.
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder About 30 g.
  • 0.25 cup old-fashioned rolled oats Adds thickness and fiber.
  • 0.5 cup ice cubes
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter Optional; swap with almond butter.
  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder Optional for mocha flavor.
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp honey Optional; sweeten to taste.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Add chilled coffee, almond milk, frozen banana, protein powder, oats, and ice to a high-speed blender.
  • Add peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and honey if using.
  • Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, 30 to 60 seconds. If too thick, blend in a splash more milk; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a spoonful of oats.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

For a stronger coffee kick, freeze coffee into ice cubes and use them in place of regular ice. Use decaf coffee if you’re sensitive to caffeine. Make it dairy-free by using a plant-based protein powder.
