Cold Brew Smoothies
Our weather here in Texas is generally warm which is why we make Toddy Cold Brew Coffee year around. Even when we wake up to chilliness, we still enjoy our iced coffee.
Do you belong to the category of individuals who eagerly anticipate their initial cup of coffee the night before going to bed?” Asking for fellow coffee lovers. 😀
Why This Recipe Works:
- 5-MINUTE SMOOTHIE – This creamy smoothie takes a mere five minutes to make which is perfect for busy mornings.
- HEALTHY – Coffee smoothies have a nice balance of protein, fiber, and vitamins.
- CAFFEINE FIX – Coffee is life, so they say, and I love getting a kick of caffeine in a delicious smoothie. Your morning coffee just got tastier!
- DELISH – We love the taste AND the texture of these, and you will too! This coffee banana smoothie is the perfect blend of a peanut butter smoothie and brewed coffee.
Ingredients needed for Coffee Smoothies:
- Cold Brew Ice Cubes – Made from cold brew concentrate or use your leftover coffee.
- Banana – Adds creaminess to these delicious smoothies.
- Peanut Butter – You could use natural peanut butter, cashew butter, or your favorite nut butter.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The sweetener that we used.
- Vanilla Extract – Adds even more flavor.
- Milk – While we normally use almond milk, you could try other non-dairy options like oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc. Likewise, you could use regular cow’s milk.
- Optional Ingredients – Whipped cream topping
TIP: If you want a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or chocolate protein powder to your smoothies.
