Coffee Smoothie
Description
The Coffee Smoothie combines frozen banana with cold brew coffee concentrate and almond milk to produce a creamy, subtly sweet drink. Dates add natural sweetness, while almond butter contributes richness and body. Vanilla and cinnamon provide warm spice notes that complement the coffee. Ice blended in at the end chills the smoothie and gives it a smooth, thick texture. Serving with cinnamon dusting and chocolate shavings adds an aromatic and slight bitterness contrast. This blend provides a distinctive coffee-flavored smoothie that balances sweetness, creaminess, and spice.
Ingredients
- 1½ banana frozen
- ½ to ¾ cup coffee concentrate to taste, cold brew
- ½ cup almond milk plus more as needed, unsweetened
- 3 Medjool dates pitted, soft
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon plus more for garnish
- 2 handfuls ice

Instructions

Notes
- Soak firm dates in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes and pat dry to soften them before blending.
