Coffee Banana Smoothie

Kick start your morning with this easy smoothie made with bananas and Instant Coffee. It's the perfect indulgence whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. Adjust the sweetness and coffee vibe as desired. They are usually chock full of cream and sugar. While adding frozen banana to a smoothie sounds strange, I can promise that it is completely undetectable in both taste and smell. Frozen banana is my go to ingredient for almost all smoothies. It helps to thicken smoothies as well as adding natural sweetness. I like using almond milk because of its mild taste and lightness. 

Chilled coffee adds the perfect kick of favour. Mix and match your ingredients to get a super-sweet protein smoothie or a darker roast coffee blend. I add a splash of vanilla just to top off the flavor. Sometimes the smoothie gets hot in the blender. But a few ice cubes will quickly take care of that Transform your favorite frozen blended coffee drink into a thick and creamy protein smoothie. This healthy breakfast recipe is naturally gluten free and full of nutrients.
