This easy Coffee Smoothie recipe is nutritious, delicious and it’s a great way to start your day! It’s an easy-to-make coffee banana smoothie that’s made with oat milk, frozen bananas, pure vanilla extract and chilled coffee. 

We love that this coffee Banana smoothie is creamy, energizing and it’s super quick and easy to make.

Coffee Smoothie Recipe

This coffee banana smoothie recipe is made with just 4 simple ingredients.

• Milk.  Feel free to use whatever unsweetened milk you like, but we use unsweetened oat milk for this recipe. Oat milk is a great alternative to cow’s milk for plant-based and vegan diets, and for those with allergies and intolerances to dairy. It’s also naturally free from lactose, soy and nuts. 
•  Coffee. Use chilled coffee for this recipe. You can also use espresso if you like.
• Banana. We add a frozen banana to the mix which adds a nice creaminess and sweetness to the smoothie.
•  Pure Vanilla Extract. Adding pure vanilla extract to this smoothie adds a rich flavor to the mix.

Variations

• Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice.
• Serve over ice for a lighter chilled drink.

• Transfer to freezer bag:  Use a spatula to loosen the frozen banana slices from the cookie sheet and transfer them to a plastic freezer bag
• Store in freezer: Store in an air-tight container or bag in the freezer for up to 6 months.
