Instructions

Brew strong coffee and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, milk, vanilla protein powder, sliced frozen banana, ice cubes, pure vanilla extract, and honey.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed.
Pour into a large glass. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for an aromatic finish and serve immediately.

Tips

Freeze banana slices in advance for a thicker, creamier shake.
Use pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste to ensure authentic vanilla flavor.
