Description

This High-Protein Coffee Smoothie is a delicious and energizing drink perfect for breakfast or a midday boost. Combining the rich flavors of brewed coffee, creamy peanut butter, and cacao powder with nutritious ingredients like frozen banana and cauliflower, it provides a satisfying blend of protein and antioxidants. Enhanced with collagen peptides or your preferred protein powder, this smoothie is both filling and easy to prepare in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • ¾ cup brewed coffee, cooled in the fridge
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut or almond milk, plus more if necessary
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frozen Ingredients

  • 1 frozen medium ripe banana
  • ¾ cup frozen cauliflower (or ½ cup ice)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
  • ½ tablespoon cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 1 serving collagen peptides (or your favorite protein powder)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large high-powered blender, add the cooled brewed coffee, frozen banana, vanilla extract, natural peanut butter, frozen cauliflower, unsweetened coconut or almond milk, cacao powder, and collagen peptides or protein powder.
  2. Blend Smoothie: Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and the smoothie is creamy and smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add more almond or coconut milk to thin the smoothie to your desired texture.
  3. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for a refreshing and protein-packed energy boost.

Notes

  • Using frozen cauliflower adds creaminess without altering flavor significantly and helps keep the smoothie cold.
  • You can substitute collagen peptides with any protein powder to suit dietary preferences.
  • If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, adjust the amount of brewed coffee accordingly.
  • For a vegan option, use a plant-based protein powder and nut butter.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup if desired.
