Maybe you don’t exactly love stronger coffee flavors but are looking for ways to sneak a bit of caffeine into your busy days. Coffee smoothies could be just what you’re looking for. Flavors of cocoa, cinnamon, and banana offset the intensity of black coffee well, so you’ll get the jolt of energy you need without the bitterness you can’t stand.
Here’s the ingredient list:
1/2 cup of coffee (chilled or cold brew)
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 teaspoon of cocoa powder
1 medium-sized banana, sliced (use frozen banana slices for a creamier result)
1-2 cups of ice
If you love the thick and smooth consistency of smoothies and coffee flavor, the coffee smoothie is just the treat for you. Save time on a busy morning and use this recipe to combine breakfast and your cup of Joe into a quick and easy drink, or make it when you want a mid-afternoon treat that’s thick and creamy but isn’t another one of those sugar-filled coffee shop drinks.
Enhance the drink’s overall flavor with a splash of vanilla extract, or toss in a scoop of protein powder if you’re about to head for a workout — you’ve got so many customization options to choose from.
