This frozen coffee smoothie will give anyone a wakeup call in the most delightful way. In fact, waking up has never been so delicious.

Since it’s frozen, you might know it as a coffee shake. Whatever you want to call it, it’s delicious and filling.

If you don’t have regular brewed coffee, you can make an instant coffee smoothie. Since there are so many other delicious ingredients, you won’t be able to tell the difference.

I made this with regular strong coffee, but you can use a shot of espresso instead.

In fact, an espresso smoothie tastes just as good. However, you might be surprised that it doesn’t have more caffeine.

Delicious Breakfast Smoothie

There’s nothing like the blend of coffee and other ingredients to rev your engines for the day. It’s perfect for anyone who doesn’t love breakfast.

All you have to do is toss the ingredients into the blender, turn it on, and you have nourishment to get you through the morning.

You can even put it in your to-go cup and take it with you.

The mixture of coffee, banana, peanut butter, oatmeal, and other yummy ingredients puts a smile on my face.

You can either make this a standalone breakfast or enjoy something to eat along with it.

These banana nut muffins make the perfect accompaniment.

It’s also good with this veggie omelet.

If you have time to sit down and enjoy a more leisurely breakfast, try this breakfast Tater Tot casserole.

You might also enjoy this scrumptious cheesy grits casserole, a delightfully southern dish that you can actually serve any time of day.

Nutrition in a Coffee Breakfast Smoothie

You can feel good about drinking a coffee smoothie first thing in the morning because it’s loaded with nutrition. Peanut butter is packed with protein and healthy fats.

The banana has vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health.

Oats contain antioxidants and fiber that assists in lowering your cholesterol.

Studies have shown that coffee is actually better for you than we originally thought.

According to Medical News Today, some of the potential benefits of drinking moderate amounts of coffee include protection against liver disease, some types of cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and type-2 diabetes.

Coffee Smoothie Ingredients

You’ll need strong coffee, milk, a banana, peanut butter, uncooked oatmeal, crushed ice, and honey.

Instead of the crushed ice, you may use frozen cubes of coffee for a stronger coffee flavor.

If you want to make it pretty, add whipped cream, cinnamon, and a cherry.

Put the coffee, milk, banana, peanut butter, oatmeal, ice, and honey in a blender or NutriBullet.

Turn it on and blend until all of the ingredients mix together to form a smooth consistency.

If you don’t want your drink to be frozen, either cut back on the ice or use steaming hot coffee.

I like for mine to be cold to the point of almost frozen. But it’s completely up to you and your personal taste.

Dress Up Your Coffee Smoothie

It’s always nice to make your food and drinks look nice, so add a little whipped cream and either cinnamon or a cherry.

Or you can add both. It’s your smoothie, so make it like you want it.

Are you a chocoholic? You can also add chocolate syrup or chocolate chips and make it a chocolate coffee smoothie.

You can also add vanilla or any of your favorite flavorings to suit your personal taste.

Delicious Any Time

You can enjoy this coffee smoothie any time of day or night.

However, I recommend switching to decaf in the afternoon or evening. Or you may find it difficult to go to sleep.

While some people can go right to sleep after drinking caffeine, my system is sensitive to it.

If I drink coffee after a certain time of day, I can’t doze off at night.

At least decaf coffee doesn’t affect me that way, so I don’t have to do without. And honestly, I can’t tell the difference in the taste of the smoothie.

If you’re having people over for coffee, surprise them with coffee smoothies. Serve them with this chocolate walnut pie, and everyone will be happy.

Other Things You Can Add to a Coffee Smoothie

Don’t feel that you have to stick to the basic recipe. Since this is your drink, experiment with other flavors you love.

Adding a splash of mint sounds good to me. Or as I mentioned above, you can try it with some chocolate syrup … because you can.

If you have an allergy or you don’t care for peanuts, you can use whatever nut butter you prefer.

Some of the other ones you might want to experiment with are almond butter or sun butter (made with sunflower seeds).

Or you can leave out the nut butter and make a banana coffee shake. Use protein powder to add more protein if you want it.
