Instructions
Preparation
Peel and break the banana into chunks and add them to the blender.
Spoon in 2 tablespoons of almond butter.
Add one scoop of your chosen protein powder.
Pour in 1 cup of cold brew coffee.
If you want a colder, thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes.
Blend on high until the texture is uniform and creamy, about 20–40 seconds depending on your blender.
Taste and adjust: more coffee for a stronger bite, a dash of sweetener for extra sweetness.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Smoothies are best fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Expect some separation; just shake or re-blend to recombine. For creaminess, use a frozen banana. Can substitute almond butter for sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
