Print Recipe

A quick and delicious smoothie blending creamy protein with bold coffee flavor, perfect for a pre-workout energy boost or a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed coffee, cooled (medium or dark roast recommended)
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/dairy milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 small ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–6 ice cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of your favorite coffee and let it cool completely.
  2. Peel and mash 1 small ripe banana until smooth.
  3. Add cooled coffee, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, mashed banana, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into a blender.
  4. Add 4-6 ice cubes and vanilla extract (if using).
  5. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides if needed.
  6. Adjust consistency by adding almond milk if too thick or more ice cubes if too thin, then blend again.
  7. Taste and add more honey if needed.
  8. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with a pinch of cinnamon.

Notes

Always cool coffee before blending to prevent melting ice and thinning the smoothie. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Measure protein powder carefully to avoid chalkiness. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Add cocoa powder for mocha flavor or spices like nutmeg for seasonal twists. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours; stir or re-blend before drinking.
