Instructions
- Add milk, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender and stir to dissolve the coffee.
- Add the frozen banana, then the salt.
- Add the ice cubes.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check consistency and adjust with 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use instant coffee granules to get a smooth coffee flavor without brewing. Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a different flavor and dairy-free option.
