Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 1 piece frozen banana A frozen banana adds natural sweetness and a frosty texture. If your bananas are fresh, slice and freeze them for a creamy base!
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder Choose your favorite flavor! Vanilla adds a nice light touch, while chocolate gives a rich, indulgent twist.
  • ¼ cup almond milk (or milk of choice) Use any milk you love! Almond, oat, or even coconut milk will work beautifully in this recipe.
  • 1 shot espresso or ¼ cup cold brew coffee If you love that coffee kick, opt for a shot of espresso. For a milder flavor, cold brew is a delightful choice.
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (optional) For an extra creamy texture and nutty flavor, add almond butter. Peanut butter works wonderfully too!
  • ½ teaspoon cocoa powder (optional) If you’re feeling indulgent, a sprinkle of cocoa powder adds a rich, chocolatey vibe.
Toppings
  • to taste favorite toppings (granola, fresh berries, nuts, etc.) Get creative with your toppings! Use whatever makes your heart sing—granola for crunch, berries for freshness, or nuts for a satisfying crunch!

Method
 

Making the Smoothie Base
  1. Start by tossing in your frozen banana, protein powder, almond milk, and coffee into the blender.
  2. Blend on high until everything is creamy and smooth, about 30 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed.
  3. Pour your smoothie base into a cozy bowl.
Adding Toppings
  1. Let your creativity flow. Whether it’s a sprinkle of granola, a handful of berries, or a drizzle of almond butter, make it your own!

Notes

Always use overripe and frozen bananas for maximum creaminess. Consider a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness if needed. Adjust consistency with more milk if too thick. Use high-quality protein powder.
