Instructions

Combine: In a high-speed blender, add 4-6 coffee ice cubes, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 frozen banana (sliced), 1-2 chopped dates, 1-2 tablespoons creamy almond or peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla paste, and any optional add-ins such as protein powder.
Blend & Adjust Thickness: Blend on HIGH speed for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. To achieve a thicker smoothie, add extra frozen banana slices or more coffee ice cubes. For a thinner consistency, pour in additional liquid coffee or almond milk slowly until desired texture is reached.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, top with dairy-free whipped topping and shaved chocolate to add a creamy, indulgent finish.

Notes

Freeze leftover brewed coffee in ice cube trays ahead of time for easy use in this recipe.
Use plant-based protein powder to keep this smoothie vegan and dairy-free.
Adjust sweetness by varying the number of dates or adding a natural sweetener of choice.
This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
