Espresso Smoothie
Thick, creamy, and delicious. This espresso smoothie is the perfect breakfast for a busy day. It's packed with protein, healthy fats, and a boost of caffeine to keep you full, satisfied, and energized all morning long. Plus it couldn't be easier to make.
Ingredients
- 1 banana, frozen
- 2 oz brewed espresso, 2 tsp espresso powder
- 2-3 tbsp almond butter, creamy, unsalted
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup lifeway kefir
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, can use collagen peptides
- dash ceylon cinnamon
- 1 pitted date, optional to make it sweeter
- ice, as needed
Equipment
- high speed blender
Instructions
- Add ingredients to blender. Add banana, almond butter, espresso, kefir, protein powder, cinnamon, and chia seeds to a high speed blender.
- Blend. Blend until smooth. Add in ice as needed to thicken it up and get to the desired consistency.
- Enjoy! I like to add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of my espresso smoothie.
Notes
- Can use coffee in place of espresso. Decaf works too.
- If you don't like banana you can omit it and use more ice.
- Use frozen banana and whole milk kefir for the creamiest smoothie.
