Ingredients
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee cooled (or cold brew)

Instructions
- Prepare Coffee Base – Brew coffee stronger than usual and let it cool. If using coffee ice cubes, freeze leftover coffee at least 4-6 hours in advance.
- Assemble Ingredients – Add frozen banana, cooled coffee, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the blender.
- Blend – Start on low speed for 10-15 seconds, then increase to high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more ice or milk.
- Serve – Pour into a tall glass. For extra flair, drizzle chocolate syrup in the glass or top with cinnamon or cocoa powder.
- Enjoy Immediately – Best served fresh!
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk, dairy-free yogurt, and vegan protein powder.
- Reduce sugar by using half a banana and a sugar-free sweetener.
- Add avocado or spinach for extra nutrition without changing the flavor.
- Try variations like Mocha Madness (add cocoa powder) or Caramel Macchiato (add caramel sauce & sea salt).
