Coffee Smoothie

This smoothie is an easy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite coffee flavors as a healthy treat.

If you love the rich flavor of coffee and the creamy sweetness of a banana smoothie, this Coffee Smoothie is the perfect combination of both. It’s delicious, naturally sweet, and made with simple, Paleo-friendly ingredients that make it a great choice for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.

The combination of banana and dates provides natural sweetness, while coconut milk adds a smooth, creamy texture. A splash of brewed coffee brings rich flavor, and almond butter adds a subtle nutty taste that makes every sip satisfying. Vanilla and cinnamon bring all the flavors together and give this smoothie a cozy, comforting finish.

With a blender you can enjoy this recipe as a traditional smoothie, however, if you have a Ninja CREAMi, you can turn the same delicious mixture into a creamy frozen treat. Simply add the blended ingredients into the CREAMi container, freeze it, and process in the machine. The result is a smooth, spoonable coffee treat that feels indulgent while still using wholesome ingredients.

This recipe is also fun to customize. Add a little more coffee for a stronger flavor, or top your CREAMi creation with sliced banana, chopped dates, or unsweetened coconut flakes. Whether you drink it through a straw or eat it with a spoon, this Coffee Smoothie is an easy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite coffee flavors as a healthy treat.

DIRECTIONS FOR NINJA CREAMI: Follow Step 1. Pour mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint container, staying below the max full line. Freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
