Instructions
- Add 1/3 cup strong, cold-brewed coffee and 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk to the blender.
- Add the large frozen banana, 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt.
- Add 2 teaspoons maple syrup to start and 1 handful of ice (use the 1–2 handfuls of ice as needed).
- Secure the blender lid, pulse 2–3 times to break up the banana, then blend on high until smooth.
- Check texture and taste: if it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again; if it’s too thin, add more ice (up to the second handful) and blend. Add more maple syrup if needed (up to 3 teaspoons total) and blend briefly to combine.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes
Notes
*the stronger or more concentrated the coffee is, the better. Also as long as it’s not hot, you are fine. You could use espresso shots but you will want to add a bit more liquid to balance it out.
**Any sweetener will work fine. I like using dates to add a little more thickness to the smoothie.
