Instructions
- Add the chilled cold brew coffee to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the frozen banana, ground cinnamon, a pinch of fine sea salt, and the pure 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 cold brew coffee or water. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana and blend again.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use a ripe frozen banana for natural sweetness and creamy texture. For a creamier smoothie, add a splash of milk or dairy-free alternative.
