Fun Add-Ins

Smoothie Making Tips

  • For a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes or use frozen bananas.
  • Remember to blend your oats and flaxseeds completely for a smoother texture.
  • Lastly, if you’re using a less powerful blender, chop your banana and coffee ice cubes into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

Notes

  • Blend in stages: To get a smoother texture, blend the oats and flaxseeds with milk before adding the remaining ingredients.
  • Use a ripe banana: Ripe bananas are naturally sweeter and blend better, giving your smoothie a sweeter and creamier texture.
  • Freeze your coffee in advance: Frozen coffee cubes not only chill your smoothie but they also keep it from becoming watered down. Be sure to freeze your coffee the night before.
  • Customize the sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of your banana and your personal preference, you might not need any additional sweetener.
  • Add protein: Consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an even more satiating smoothie.
  • Toppings: Consider topping your coffee smoothie with a sprinkle of cacao nibs, granola, chia seeds, or a drizzle of nut butter for added texture and flavor.

    I absolutely love this recipe! I needed something to get me back into smoothies, especially in the morning. In mine, I add about 1/2 TBSP of maca powder and sometimes some peppermint leaves from my herb garden. This is my favorite coffee smoothie recipe, and I share it with everyone!

    1. Katerina Petrovska says:

    Hi, can I replace the rolled oats with instant oats? Can’t wait to try this smoothie!

    1. Steph says:

      Since I’m lactose sensitive, can I use my lactose free milk?

      1. Katerina Petrovska says:

        Yes, that will definitely work.

  4. Danny wells says:

    1. Kathleen Seitz says:

      You have the best recipes and I’ve been following you for years and pin so many, but how come when I copy a recipe it never has the picture on it like you show??
      Also leaving up that sad lady’s comment shows what a wonderful person you are and you know it takes all kinds…..one time {on a blog I wasn’t all that into anyway] I told the gal there was an entire part of her recipe missing as I really wanted it and thought she would be happy to have it brought to her attention. OMG I received the most filthy nasty email I could not believe it and i replied and said I am sorry for being kind and trying to help you out, please remove my name from this list and the Best of everything to you! What else can you do.

  5. Diana Banks says:

    I cannot ha e rolled oats can I use instant

  6. Eve says:

    Very good! I’ve been making this for my husband and I every morning for a few weeks now. We have been changing it up day by day to meet our needs. Like adding honey flavored yogurt to ours for the probiotics and extra protein.

  7. Christina says:

    Not bad at all! A different flavor combination than what I’m used to but it’s really not a bad one. I love that I can have a frozen coffee drink without feeling the guilt that comes along with drinking the syrupy sugary concoctions from coffee shops. Also, I didn’t have frozen coffee but I did have cold brew so I used that and added ice. In the end, it turned out fine just thinner than your recipe. Thank you for sharing!!!
