Description

There’s nothing quite like the comforting aroma of coffee in the morning—except, perhaps, blending it into a cool, creamy, nutrient-packed smoothie that wakes up your taste buds and your energy levels. The Wake Me Up Coffee Smoothie combines the rich, bold flavor of coffee with wholesome ingredients like banana, nut butter, and oats, creating a perfect on-the-go breakfast or post-workout boost. It’s not just a treat for coffee lovers; it’s a smart, delicious way to fuel your day.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 banana, sliced and frozen

  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

  • ½ cup milk (any variety)

  • ¼ cup rolled oats

  • 1 tbsp nut butter (e.g., almond, peanut) – optional

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon – optional

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – optional

  • 1 tbsp cacao nibs – optional

  • Sweetener to taste (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or dates) – optional

Instructions

  • Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge.

  • Add the cooled coffee, frozen banana, rolled oats, milk, nut butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and any optional add-ins to a blender.

  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed and re-blend for a perfectly smooth finish.

 

  • Pour into a glass or to-go cup and enjoy immediately. Garnish with cacao nibs, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of nut butter if desired.

Notes

Frozen Banana: Using a frozen banana helps achieve a creamier texture without the need for ice.

Sweeteners: Adjust sweetness naturally with honey, maple syrup, or dates, or omit for a less sweet version.

Vegan Option: Use plant-based milk and skip dairy-based add-ins to make this smoothie vegan-friendly.

Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter to increase protein content.

Flavor Enhancers: Enhance flavor with a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder.
