Instructions

Mise En Place
Gather coffee, banana, chocolate protein powder, almond milk, flaxseed, ice, measuring cups, spoon, knife, and blender. · 3 min
What to look for: All ingredients and tools are on the counter.
Cool Coffee
Brew coffee and cool it until no steam rises, so the banana stays thick and the protein powder blends smoothly. · 5 min
What to look for: Coffee is dark, fragrant, and no longer steaming.
Load Blender
Peel banana, slice it into 2 cm pieces, and add it to the blender jar with almond milk, cooled coffee, flaxseed, and ice. · 2 min
What to look for: Fruit, liquid, seeds, and ice sit below the blade line.
Add Protein
Add chocolate protein powder last, then cover the blender jar tightly to keep the powder from clumping around the blade. · 1 min
What to look for: Protein powder rests on top and the lid is secure.
Blend Smooth
Blend on high until the smoothie is creamy, speckled with flaxseed, and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. · 1 min
What to look for: The mixture is smooth, cold, and evenly mocha colored.
Serve Cold
Pour the smoothie into 2 cold glasses and serve at once while the coffee aroma is bright and the banana texture is frosty. · 1 min
What to look for: Glasses are filled with a thick chilled smoothie.

Ingredient substitutions

Coffee

Water: Removes caffeine and much of the mocha depth, but keeps the smoothie blendable.

Banana

Maple syrup: Use only when banana is unavailable; sweetness remains but the texture becomes thinner.

Chocolate protein powder

Milk: Use only if the protein target is not required; chocolate flavor and protein will drop.

Almond milk

Milk: Gives a creamier body and a more dairy forward finish.

Flaxseed

Cinnamon: Keeps a warm flavor note, but removes the nutty thickness from flaxseed.

Ice

Water: Keeps the volume but makes the smoothie less cold and less thick.
