A chilled coffee banana smoothie with almond butter, dates, cinnamon, and almond milk for a creamy 5-minute breakfast drink.

# Ingredients:

For the smoothie

01 - 1 1/2 frozen ripe bananas, sliced
02 - 1/2 to 3/4 cup (120 to 180 ml) cold brew coffee concentrate or chilled brewed coffee
03 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
04 - 3 soft Medjool dates, pitted
05 - 1 tablespoon almond butter
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1 to 1 1/2 cups ice

Optional garnish

09 - Pinch of ground cinnamon
10 - 1 tablespoon dairy-free chocolate shavings

# Instructions:

01 - Add the frozen banana, cold brew, almond milk, dates, almond butter, vanilla, and cinnamon to a blender.
02 - Blend on high for 45-60 seconds, until the banana and dates are fully smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
03 - Add the ice and blend again for 20-30 seconds, until thick and frosty. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time only if needed.
04 - Pour into 2 glasses and garnish with cinnamon or chocolate shavings if using. Serve right away.

# Good to know:

01 - For the thickest texture, use frozen banana and fully chilled coffee.
02 - Use 1/2 cup coffee for a milder drink or 3/4 cup for stronger coffee flavor.
03 - Nutrition is an estimate per serving without optional chocolate garnish.
