- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain or vanilla protein powder

Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the strong coffee or cold brew, almond milk, protein powder, frozen banana, almond butter, and vanilla extract into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks of banana or almond butter. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Notes
- Use cold brew or cooled strong coffee to avoid significantly melting the frozen banana.
- For a sweeter smoothie, use vanilla protein powder or add a small amount of honey or maple syrup.
- Substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk for dietary preferences.
- Protein powder can be whey, plant-based, or any preferred variety.
- For extra texture and nutrients, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds.
