Instructions
- Add the chilled cold brew coffee and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.

- 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. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional cold brew coffee if too thick, or add a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana pieces if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use frozen banana slices to help chill and thicken the smoothie. Substitute almond milk for cold brew for a caffeine-free option.
