Totally Addictive Quarantine Cold Brew Smoothie

Is there anything more annoying than when someone writes you a book report on a recipe post? Well, maybe being quarantined inside for going on 3 months is a close second.

It’s like— look—I’m here for the ingredients list, not to hear how your first relationship went and to see how good you are at taking iPhone pictures in portrait mode.

Speaking of portrait mode…

This smoothie, if done right, has the texture of a Wendy’s frosty (remember those) and tastes perfect — just enough sweetness with a hint of coffee. It TOTALLY curbs a sweets craving, which is handy during these quarantine times.

We use a Vitamix, which blends things into a creamy, wonderfully texture with no ice chunks… but you might not have the same results with other blenders. The Ninja Professional might work good too.

Cold Brew Smoothie

{Makes approximately 3 8oz cups}

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 c milk (coconut, almond, oat, cashew all fine but thicker the better)

• 3/4 c organic store bought cold brew coffee (if making your own concentrate, dilute to equal 3/4 c)

• 3-5 large frozen ripe bananas

• 2 TB grass fed collagen

• 1/2 tsp vanilla

• 1/4 -1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 3 TB peanut or almond butter

• 1-2 TB honey (optional) if the bananas are sweet enough you won’t need it) depending

• 8 large ice cubes (if you don’t have a Vitamix, leave the ice out because it won’t blend smoothly)

DIRECTIONS:

It’s actually very important you put everything in the blender in THIS ORDER to prevent the powder ingredients from flying all over the place and to get the right texture. YOU CAN’T ADD THE ICE LATER. You have to add it in before you blend the first time.

Blend until there’s no ice chunks (need to reach Vitamin 7) and give it a little taste test and tweak it to your liking!

NOTE: If you’re sensitive to caffeine, you can totally use decaf. Be sure to get organic as coffee is high in mycotoxins!
