How to Make Coffee Smoothie (Overview)

Making this smoothie is as easy as pie (or should I say smoothie?).

• Toss the yogurt and milk in first for a more even blend.
• Use frozen bananas for an ultra-chilly sensation! 🍌
• Blend on high for a minute or two to ensure everything is silky and smooth. Pro tip: don’t skip that step — who wants chunks in their coffee?

How to Serve Coffee Smoothie

Now that your Coffee Smoothie is ready, let’s serve it up stylishly!

• Pour it into a tall glass, and maybe garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for that extra flair.
• Pair it with some crunchy granola or a slice of whole-grain toast with nut butter for a complete meal.
• Just think about that creamy color, the warm aroma of coffee, and that crunch from the toppings. Pure bliss!

How to Store Coffee Smoothie

If you somehow have leftovers (good luck with that!), you can store them in the fridge for about 24 hours. Just remember to give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate a bit.

Tips to Make Coffee Smoothie

Here are some insider tricks to ensure you nail this smoothie each time:

• Try chilling your glass in the fridge beforehand for that extra frosty touch.

Feeling adventurous? Here are some ideas to switch things up:
