Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy protein coffee smoothie blending cold brewed coffee, ripe banana, peanut butter, and protein powder for a satisfying and energizing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brewed coffee or strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural, no added sugar or oils)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (about 25-30g, vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee and chill: Prepare 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee. Cold brew is ideal but regular hot coffee cooled in the fridge for at least 30 minutes works fine.
  2. Prepare banana: Peel 1 ripe banana. For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana or slice fresh and freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. Add ingredients to blender: Combine coffee, banana, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 cup (120 ml) almond milk, and a handful of ice cubes.
  4. Blend until smooth: Start on low speed to combine, then ramp up to high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until creamy with no chunks. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or ice/banana as needed.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness: If desired, add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and blend again briefly.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour into your favorite glass or tumbler. Optionally sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top.

Notes

Use cold coffee to prevent dilution from melting ice. Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and creaminess. Protein powder choice affects flavor and texture. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and milk alternatives. Frozen bananas create a thicker texture. Clean blender immediately to avoid peanut butter residue.
