Instructions

Add the chilled cold brew coffee and pure vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana and a pinch of fine sea 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; if too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional cold brew coffee, or add more ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use a ripe frozen banana for natural sweetness and creamy texture. To make it creamier, add a spoonful of yogurt or a splash of milk.
