Banana Coffee Milkshake
Coffee lovers, this banana coffee milkshake is for you. Get your favorite brew and combine just five ingredients!
Start your morning off right, with the most refreshing summer drink in under five minutes. This banana coffee milkshake is great for those busy work mornings.
And yes, this is a milkshake….but it’s a healthy milkshake that also doubles as a smoothie.
This milkshake is so easy to make! All you need to do is get out your trusty blender and a few pantry staples that you probably have on hand already. You’ll be enjoying this smooth and delicious banana coffee milkshake in no time.
When mornings start to heat up, this smoothie is the perfect cold morning indulgence to sip on, while providing a dose of caffeine.
Ingredients
When your bananas are staring at you from the fruit bowl, consider making this banana coffee milkshake before they go to waste.
Here’s a handful of ingredients you’ll need:
Banana: You can use a ripe or overripe banana for this banana coffee milkshake. A brown banana has more sugar and also makes this drink sweet enough so you don’t have to add in any sugar.
Coffee: Use freshly brewed coffee for milkshake. Then for the finishing touch, sprinkle it with instant coffee.
Almond milk: I like to use almond milk for some added protein. You can also use soy or oat milk.
Vanilla extract: A good quality vanilla extract adds a tasty vanilla taste without any added sugar.
Maple syrup: I like to use maple syrup because it has a leg up on many other added sugars—it offers 60-plus health-helping polyphenols, blood-sugar-helping mineral manganese, and the B vitamin riboflavin.
Step-by-step instructions
Making this banana coffee milkshake is super quick and easy!
First, add your sliced banana,
brewed coffee,
almond milk,
vanilla extract,
and maple syrup to a blender.
Then blend it until the mixture is smooth and lump free.
Pro tip: If you have a high-speed blender, you can skip slicing your banana. If your blender is not as powerful, I suggest placing the sliced banana in first, followed by the other ingredients.
Then pour the milkshake into your favorite glass,
and sprinkle with instant coffee.
