THICK COFFEE BANANA SMOOTHIE



Thick Coffee Banana Smoothie image

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.

Time 34m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4-1 cup fresh brewed coffee, cooled
1 medium banana, peeled
1 -2 tablespoon sugar (optional) or 1 -2 tablespoon honey, to taste (optional)
1 1/2 cups french vanilla yogurt (low-fat or nonfat is fine)
1 -2 tablespoon protein powder (or other nutritional powder) (optional)
1 teaspoon chocolate syrup (optional)
1 drop vanilla extract

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.

LOW FAT COFFEE BANANA SMOOTHIE



Low Fat Coffee Banana Smoothie image

Use up your old coffee a fun way! I always save my leftover coffee and freeze them into ice cubes. Usually, I cool off my fresh cup of coffee with them (without diluting the taste) - but you can use them to make iced coffee. I was out of my usual frozen strawberries one morning so I thought I'd give them a whirl in the blender. I currently use a hazelnut flavored blend. Also, don't let the "low fat" throw you - this tastes wonderful... Use the ripest bananas (black is fine for this) possible, as they are the sweetest. If they're too ripe to eat, peel them and put them in baggies in the freezer to save for your smoothies or for baking. No one will know! I hope you like this.

Thick 'n' Creamy Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie image

A deliciously thick and creamy smoothie made with 3 simple ingredients, ready in 3 quick minutes! What's more, this recipe is vegan and contains no added sugars. Make sure to use ripe bananas and unsalted peanut butter! I like to use rice milk but other milks like soy and dairy are fine. Another recipe from my crazy experiments in the kitchen!
