When healthy meets buzzed, the Coffee Smoothie shines
I’m the type of person that needs 10 minutes to get out of bed, and another 20 until I’m fully functional. I set out all of the things I need for the day the night before, and 9/10 times I don’t eat breakfast before leaving the house… until I started making this coffee smoothie. You guys… this smoothie is life changing! I kick starts my mornings better than anything I’ve had before, and I make it so often that I’ve got the recipe down to a science.
This coffee smoothie is thick and creamy and is borderline as good as a Wendy’s frosty, yeah.. I said it! It consists of 4 simple cheap ingredients that make up a complete healthy meal. This smoothie is a balanced way to start your day and gives you just as much energy as that venti white chocolate frappuccino WITHOUT all of the processed sugar!
4 Simple Ingredients
I use frozen bananas because I like my smoothies as thick as possible. You can use less if you like your smoothie to be thicker, or just add more coffee if you want it thin! Something I love about this recipe is how foolproof it is. Sometimes when I’m blending it I will notice that the texture is off, so I may add another frozen half of a banana to make it just right. It’s all about what you like and how you’re most likely to enjoy it! I encourage you to experiment with ratios until you find your perfect recipe (although I’m guilty of eyeballing it 99% of the time).
A hint of chocolaty-ness, smooth and thick with a kick of java this smoothie is guaranteed to be your new morning fav! I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I have!

Notes
- Oftentimes when I know I’ll be having this smoothie, I will save a few cups of the coffee from the morning for the next day. That way it is all ready for me to make in the morning!
- If you use hot coffee, your smoothie will be much thinner.
- You can use different types of nut butter to switch things up. I’ve really enjoyed almond butter recently.
- Add in some veggies into your morning by throwing in a handful of fresh spinach. It blends right in and you don’t even taste it!
