BLUE BANANA SMOOTHIE
We have these for breakfast regularly, and are great if you're in a rush (get that travel mug ready). It should keep you going all day, but it's quite filling so you might not want to have it right before a workout. Amounts are approximate, and this is great with any kind of fruit.

THICK COFFEE BANANA SMOOTHIE
There are a few little preparation quirks that distinguish a good smoothie from a great one - at least in my book. For one, I like to par-freeze the fruit I'm using - not rock solid, mind you - because it helps thicken the drink; room temperature fruit only thins it. Ditto for the liquid I use, in this case coffee - usually left over from the pot I've made that morning. As prepared here, this smoothie has a mild coffee flavor, but if you want a stronger coffee kick then go ahead and use some double strength brewed coffee that has been well chilled.

Steps:
- Twenty to thirty minutes before you plan to mix your smoothie, put the coffee in a shallow pan and place it in the freezer, stirring once or twice after 15 minutes.
- It should become slushy-icy.
- Thinly slice the banana onto a plate and put that in the freezer as well, to chill.
- While you're waiting, chill the glasses you plan to use.
- When you're ready to proceed, combine the chilled coffee, banana, and sugar to taste in a blender.
- Blend just until smooth.
- Add the yogurt and any of the remaining ingredients you wish to use.
- Blend again, briefly, just until smooth. Taste, adding a little more sugar if needed. Transfer to the chilled glasses and serve.

Tips for the Perfect Caffeinated Banana Smoothie
- Choose the right coffee: Use freshly brewed, strong coffee. This will give your smoothie a bold flavor and a good caffeine kick. For a sweeter smoothie, you can use cold brew coffee.
- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter and creamier, making them the perfect base for a smoothie. They also add a natural sweetness to the smoothie, so you won't need to add any additional sugar.
- Add some protein: If you want a more filling smoothie, add some protein powder or Greek yogurt. This will help keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making a caffeinated banana smoothie. You can add other fruits, vegetables, nuts, or seeds to your smoothie to create your own unique flavor combinations.
Conclusion
The caffeinated banana smoothie is a delicious and healthy way to start your day or power you through an afternoon slump. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give this recipe a try.
