Instructions
- Add the chilled cold brew coffee to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen banana, almond butter, pinch of fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
- 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. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional liquid. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend briefly.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use ripe bananas frozen in slices for easier blending and natural sweetness. For a creamier texture, substitute some ice with frozen yogurt.
