Ingredients
- 3/4 cup chilled brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 medium frozen banana
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, milk, or oat milk, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice
- Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey, if you like it sweeter
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon
How To Make It
Add the chilled coffee, Greek yogurt, frozen banana, oats, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla, and ice to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the smoothie looks creamy and the oats are fully broken down, about 30 to 60 seconds depending on your blender.
Check the texture before pouring. For a thicker smoothie, add a few more ice cubes or a little extra frozen banana. For a thinner smoothie that drinks more like an iced coffee, splash in more milk and blend again for a few seconds.
Taste and adjust. The banana adds natural sweetness, but if your coffee is strong or you prefer a sweeter breakfast smoothie, add a small drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy right away while it is cold, frosty, and fresh.
Tips
Use chilled coffee so the smoothie stays thick and cold. Leftover morning coffee, cold brew, or decaf coffee all work well. If your coffee is still warm, it can melt the ice quickly and make the smoothie thinner.
For the best creamy texture, use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one. Slice ripe bananas and freeze them in a bag or container so they are ready for quick smoothies.
Rolled oats blend more smoothly than steel-cut oats and help make this coffee smoothie feel more like breakfast. If you want an even softer texture, soak the oats in the coffee or milk for 5 to 10 minutes before blending.
Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a tangy balance to the cocoa and coffee. Plain yogurt keeps the flavor simple, while vanilla Greek yogurt makes the smoothie sweeter.
Blend it, pour it, and enjoy a cheerful coffee-shop-style breakfast at home!
