Ingredients
Smoothie Ingredients
- 1½ frozen bananas
- ½ to ¾ cup cold brew coffee concentrate, to taste
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
- 3 soft Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for garnish
- 2 handfuls of ice
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, add the frozen bananas, cold brew coffee concentrate, unsweetened almond milk, pitted Medjool dates, almond butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. This combination ensures a creamy texture with rich coffee flavor and natural sweetness.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add more almond milk gradually to reach the desired consistency.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add the two handfuls of ice to the blender and blend again until the ice is fully incorporated and the smoothie is chilled and frothy.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses. Garnish with an extra dusting of cinnamon and chocolate shavings to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- If your Medjool dates are not soft, soak them in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes to soften, then pat dry before using to ensure they blend smoothly.
- Adjust the amount of cold brew coffee concentrate to taste depending on your preferred coffee strength.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk if desired.
