Notes

Expert Tips

  • If your smoothie is too thin, add more frozen bananas or ice for a super thick and creamy texture.
  • For best results, use cold coffee with this recipe. Let the coffee chill for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator or overnight.
  • If you don't like thick smoothies, add a little extra water or dairy-free milk.
  • The riper bananas you use, the sweeter the smoothie will be. If you use green bananas, you'll lower the sugar content and add more dietary fiber.
  • Freeze leftover smoothie in silicone ice cube trays to use for later!
  • Use a high-speed blender for this recipe. If you only have a food processor on hand, you can use that too!
  • Make coffee ice cubes with leftover coffee!

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in a glass cup with a lid like a mason jar in the refrigerator or freezer. (It will not stay as thick in the refrigerator.)
You can also make smoothie ice cubes by pouring leftovers into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze for later! (Or meal prep by doubling the recipe!)
Blend the frozen cubes with a non-dairy milk for a quick and easy smoothie.
