Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana the riper, the sweeter
  • 3/4 cup brewed coffee hot or chilled, your choice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk you like
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon optional, adds warmth
  • 1 cup ice cubes optional, for iced version
  • whipped cream optional topping
  • coffee beans or banana chips optional garnish

Method
 

  1. Brew the coffee using your preferred method and set it aside. If making an iced version, let it cool slightly.
    Peel the banana and add it to a blender.
    Pour in the coffee, followed by almond milk.
    Add honey (or maple syrup) and cinnamon if using.
    Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
    For iced banana coffee, add ice cubes and blend again until frothy.
    Pour into a glass or mug, depending on whether it's hot or iced.
    Top with whipped cream, banana chips, or coffee beans if desired.
    Serve immediately and enjoy your naturally sweet, energizing banana coffee

Notes

  • For a sweeter drink without added sugar, use an overripe banana—it blends smoother and adds natural caramel-like flavor.
  • Want more protein? Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder before blending.
  • To make it iced, use chilled coffee and add ice cubes before blending.
  • For a richer flavor, replace almond milk with oat milk or coconut milk.
  • Skip the honey if your banana is very ripe—it’ll be naturally sweet enough.
  • Don’t have a blender? Mash the banana well and mix vigorously with hot coffee and milk—expect a more textured finish.
  • Try adding cocoa powder for a mocha-style twist.
