Healthy Coffee Protein Smoothie
This easy Coffee Protein Smoothie recipe combines peanut butter and banana with iced coffee! It’s a super delicious & healthy breakfast treat!
THE PERFECT HEALTHY SMOOTHIE
Sweet bananas paired with smooth peanut butter is a classic combo that I can’t get enough of. BUT, pair those two with iced coffee AND a scoop of protein powder, and you’ve got yourself a new favorite breakfast drink. Bring it in a to-go mug to kickstart your day in the best way possible!
I always thought that NOTHING was going to beat my original recipe for a Coffee smoothie NAH.THING. Until… I put peanut butter in it… o.m.g. 😱 Trust me, friends, this little addition made a huge difference. The following morning I also added a scoop of chocolate protein powder, and things got even better.
Smoothies are a breakfast favorite around here. Our go-to is the one and only Banana, Kiwi and Kale Smoothie – SO amazing! – or, a bowl of this Rainbow Protein Smoothie . We all got used to just throwing a bunch of good-for-you ingredients in the Blendtec and, with just a whirl, our breakfast is done.
Just like the ones mentioned above, this Coffee Protein Smoothie is a packed powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, but best of all is the delicious coffee flavor! Coffee lovers, we’re about to celebrate!

HOW TO MAKE A COFFEE PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
- Start by brewing a cup of coffee before going to sleep. DO NOT drink it. 🙂 Instead, please pour it into an ice tray and place the tray in your freezer.
- The following morning, pour out the coffee ice cubes into a blender.
- Add a banana to the blender, as well as the peanut butter, protein powder, and milk.
- Blend until mixture is well combined and thickened.
- If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk, about couple tablespoons at a time, and blend until combined.
- If it’s too thin, add a couple of ice cubes and blend until combined.
- Pour into glasses and serve.
HOW TO STORE SMOOTHIES
Smoothies are the perfect meal prep – they keep in the fridge for up to 3 days – and are an easy way to keep our first meal of the day on track.
- Store smoothies in an airtight glass container secured with a lid. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 days.
- Smoothies can also be frozen into popsicle molds – they are perfect on a hot summer day.
