Ingredient notes
- Coffee: for the best flavour, make sure that the coffee is nice and strong. You can use regular or decaf coffee here! You’ll want it to be chilled ahead of time.
- Frozen banana: for that perfect creamy texture, frozen banana works best. The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie will be.
- Frozen riced cauliflower: frozen cauliflower is a great way to sneak in extra fibre and nutrients, while contributing to that creamy consistency. Don’t worry – you won’t even taste it!
- Vanilla protein powder: adds a good boost of protein and makes this smoothie more balanced, keeping you full for longer. Chocolate protein powder would also be delicious!
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk to thin out the smoothie, however you can use any milk.
- Peanut butter: feel free to use almond butter or cashew butter instead.
- Flaxseeds: for a dose of fibre, protein and healthy fats. Don’t have flaxseeds on hand? Chia seeds or hemp seeds are also great options.
- Cinnamon: for a little extra flavour.
- Sea salt: a touch of sea salt helps to enhance the other flavours in this smoothie.
