Coffee Smoothie
Start your day off right with the best of both morning beverages, a Coffee Smoothie! That’s right, all the protein and refreshing taste of a filling smoothie with the energizing jolt of coffee.
This smoothie is packed with old fashioned oats, frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, and honey. And of course, very strongly brewed coffee! Toss it all in your blender, blend away, and you’re ready to go, all in under 10 minutes.
Customize it with your preference of milk (almond, oat, soy, coconut, whole, all great options), skip the peanut butter and use almond butter instead, toss in some protein powder or chia seeds, or even use fresh instead of frozen bananas (just don’t forget the ice).
We love smoothies at our house and this coffee version is quickly becoming a new morning go to. Not only a delicious breakfast option, but it also works as a quick lunchtime pick me up or an afternoon snack. All the ingredients are ready to go so it’s easy to just toss in, blend, and enjoy.

Tips and Variations
- You can use any kind of milk you prefer. We used coconut milk for our smoothie but feel free to use whole milk, or a non dairy substitute.
- If you aren’t a fan of the peanut butter flavor, you can substitute almond butter.
- Vanilla protein powder will give you the vanilla flavor while also adding in extra protein!
- Be sure the frozen bananas are in small enough pieces to ensure everything blends easily and you get a smooth base.
- If you’re using fresh instead of frozen bananas, you will need to add in ice.
Storage
Storage: We don’t recommend storing this smoothie. It should be enjoyed as soon as it’s made to avoid melting. This recipe makes individual servings so there should not be any leftovers to store.
