Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen) Frozen makes the smoothie thicker and colder.
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter Any nut/seed butter can be used.
  • 1 scoop protein powder Whey, plant, or collagen depending on your needs.
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee Or chilled strong-brewed coffee.
  • 1 cup almond milk Or dairy/other plant milks.
  • Ice cubes Add more for a frosty texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add the banana, almond butter, and protein powder to the blender first so dry ingredients sit closest to the blades.
  2. Pour in the cold brew coffee and almond milk. Add a handful of ice cubes.
  3. Start the blender on low to combine, then increase to high and blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.
  4. Taste and adjust: add more milk if it’s too thick, or another ice cube if you want it colder and thicker.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately as a post-workout recovery drink or an afternoon energy boost.

Notes

For best texture and flavor, consume immediately. Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, or freeze in portions for up to 1 month.
