1. Nutella Coffee Smoothie
Ingredients: 1 cup cold brew, 2 tbsp Nutella, 1 banana, 1/2 cup milk, ice
Directions: Blend cold brew, Nutella, banana, milk, and ice until smooth and creamy. Pour into a tall glass.
Pro Tip: Freeze the banana the night before for an extra thick, frosty texture.
2. Banoffee Coffee Smoothie
Ingredients: 1 cup cold brew, 1 banana, 2 tbsp toffee sauce, 1/2 cup milk, ice, whipped cream
Directions: Blend cold brew, banana, toffee sauce, milk, and ice. Pour into glass. Top with whipped cream and toffee drizzle.
Pro Tip: Banoffee = banana + toffee. This smoothie tastes like the classic British pie in drink form.
3. Protein Cold Brew Shake
Ingredients: 1 cup cold brew, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 tbsp peanut butter, ice
Directions: Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add more almond milk if too thick.
Pro Tip: This is the perfect post-workout drink - caffeine for energy plus 20-25g protein for muscle recovery.
4. Frothy Coffee Foam Latte
Ingredients: 1 cup hot or cold coffee, 1/4 cup warm milk, milk frother
Directions: Brew your coffee. Warm milk slightly. Froth milk with a milk frother wand for 20-30 seconds. Pour coffee into mug, spoon frothed milk on top.
Pro Tip: Whole milk froths best due to fat content. For dairy-free, oat milk is the best frother among plant milks.
5. Mocha Banana Protein Smoothie
Ingredients: 1 cup cold brew, 1 banana, 1 scoop chocolate protein, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1/2 cup oat milk, ice
Directions: Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour into a shaker bottle for on-the-go or a glass for home.
Pro Tip: Double the cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavour without adding sugar.
6. Coffee Oat Breakfast Smoothie
Ingredients: 1 cup cold brew, 1/3 cup oats, 1 banana, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 cup milk, ice
Directions: Blend oats first to break them down. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pro Tip: Rolled oats blend smoother than steel-cut. This smoothie keeps you full until lunch.
7. Peanut Butter Coffee Smoothie
Ingredients: 1 cup cold brew, 2 tbsp peanut butter, 1 banana, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tbsp honey, ice
Directions: Blend cold brew, peanut butter, banana, milk, honey, and ice until creamy.
Pro Tip: Use natural peanut butter (just peanuts and salt) for a healthier version with healthy fats.
8. French Press Coffee Latte
Ingredients: 2 tbsp medium-fine ground coffee, 1 cup hot water, 1/2 cup steamed milk, French press
Directions: Add grounds to French press. Pour hot water (90-95 degrees). Steep 4 minutes. Press slowly. Pour into mug. Add steamed or frothed milk.
Pro Tip: The French press makes a full-bodied coffee that holds up beautifully under milk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will blending coffee with protein powder make it taste bad?
Not if you use flavoured protein powder. Vanilla and chocolate protein powders pair excellently with cold brew. Avoid unflavoured protein powder as it can taste chalky.
Can I make coffee smoothies without a blender?
For simpler recipes, yes. Use a shaker bottle to mix cold brew with protein powder and milk. For recipes with banana, Nutella, or ice, a blender is necessary for smooth texture.
How much caffeine is in a coffee smoothie?
A typical coffee smoothie made with 1 cup of cold brew contains approximately 200mg of caffeine - similar to a strong cup of drip coffee. If sensitive, use half cold brew and half milk.
