Delicious Breakfast Smoothie

This frozen coffee smoothie will give anyone a wakeup call in the most delightful way. In fact, waking up has never been so delicious. All you need are coffee (of course!) and a few more basic ingredients to make this yummy, belly-filling treat!

I created this recipe by adding a bunch of ingredients to the blender, hoping for a palatable drink to replace breakfast. It was one of those days when I was in a hurry and needed something on-the-run.

To my delight, it tasted wonderful. And even better, my husband’s eyes lit up after the first sip. He absolutely loved it!

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.

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.

Why This Coffee Smoothie Works

One of the main reasons that I love this coffee smoothie is that it delivers lots of filling ingredients that are also delicious. The recipe is flexible with options to swap out ingredients when you’re in the mood for a different flavor.

Are you a chocoholic? You can also add chocolate syrup or chocolate chips and make it a chocolate coffee smoothie. Also add vanilla or any of your favorite flavorings to suit your personal taste.

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 how you want it.

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.

If you prefer not to have uncooked oatmeal, feel free to cook it first. Or you can completely leave it out if you want. What I would do instead is add a little more peanut butter to keep it thick.

FAQs

Can I use instant coffee or cold brew?

Yes, you absolutely can. Just use whatever coffee you happen to have, and it will turn out delicious!

How Can I Make This a Vegan Smoothie?

There are 2 things you can substitute. Use any kind of milk that isn’t dairy. And choose a sweetener that doesn’t come from an animal, such as maple syrup or sugar.

Can I Prep This Smoothie Ahead of Time?

Yes, but it only takes 5 minutes, start to finish, even if you don’t prep it. If you need to cut even more time, measure out all of the ingredients and have them ready to put in the blender.

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.

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