Why You Will Love Coffee Smoothies

I love coffee smoothies because they are so versatile. You can use cold brew, espresso, or even leftover coffee from the pot. The key is to use chilled coffee, not hot, so your smoothie stays thick and icy. A frozen banana makes all the difference here.

A classic coffee smoothie with 1 cup cold brew, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon of almond butter or protein powder is a perfect starting point.

These smoothies are a great alternative to sugary coffee shop drinks. A typical coffee smoothie made with whole ingredients can have under 300 calories. For a higher protein version, add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to push it to 20 30 grams per serving. That makes it ideal as a post workout refuel or a meal replacement on busy mornings.

If you want a lower calorie option, swap the banana for half a cup of frozen cauliflower or zucchini. It sounds strange, but it adds a creamy texture without the sugar and carbs. You can also use decaf coffee if you are sensitive to caffeine.
