Instructions
- Add the chilled cold brew coffee to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen banana, fine sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to the blender.
- Add ice cubes.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check the consistency; if too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional cold brew coffee, or add a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use ripe bananas frozen in advance for natural sweetness and creamy texture. To make it creamier without sugar, add a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt.
