Instructions
- Add the chilled cold brew coffee to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the frozen banana, pure vanilla extract, and pinch of fine sea salt.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender.
- 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 additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes/frozen fruit if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use frozen bananas to create a creamy texture without needing yogurt or protein powder. For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your preferred protein powder.
