Breakfast Coffee Smoothie Without Banana Recipe

Coffee breakfast smoothies are such a great way to start the day.

Nutrient dense, low in sugar and with a nice caffeine boost, you can enjoy a healthy meal in a glass, whether you are at home or rushing out the door.

You probably know that banana is a common ingredient in breakfast smoothie recipes. I use it in my banana coffee smoothie recipe.

Banana helps give smoothies a creamy texture and if frozen, make it thick and icy cold too.

But there are several reasons why you might like to make a morning smoothie without banana including:

• You don’t like bananas!
• You want to reduce the sugar or calories in your breakfast smoothie.
• You’re following a low or no-fruit diet.
• You’re allergic to bananas.

So in this easy breakfast smoothie recipe I removed the banana and focused on creating a complete meal with all-natural ingredients.

This coffee breakfast smoothie is creamy and thick with a subtle sweetness and nice caffeine boost to get you moving in the morning.

What You’ll Need To Make A Breakfast Smoothie With Coffee

To make an iced coffee smoothie at home you will need:

• A coffee maker and
• High speed blender.

A high speed blender is the most important piece of equipment you need for making good smoothies at home.

I love the Nutribullet 1200w blender as it is powerful enough to blend to a smooth texture but doesn’t take up a lot of room in your kitchen.

The type of coffee maker really doesn’t matter – you could use filter coffee, french press, cold brew or espresso.

Just make sure you brew it quite strong and remember to brew it prior to making the smoothie so it has time to cool down to room temperature.

No Banana Coffee Smoothie Ingredients

To make a coffee smoothie (no banana) at home you will need:

• Coffee
• Milk
• Yoghurt
• Oats
• Almond butter
• Vanilla
• Dates
• Maple syrup
• Ice cubes

Coffee

Strong cold coffee in any form is good for this recipe.

I think brewed coffee, plunger coffee and cold brew coffee all work well. If using espresso, I recommend using a double shot.

Note that your coffee needs to be cold or at least room temperature so best to make the day before. Don’t add hot coffee to your other ingredients as it may curdle.

Milk

I use cow’s milk, but almond or oat milk also work well in this recipe.

Yoghurt

I use plain Greek yoghurt in my coffee smoothies as it is so lovely and creamy – but any unflavored natural yogurt will be fine.

Oats

The best oatmeal to use in smoothies is quick-cook oats. Also known as rolled oats, they are softer and combine more readily in the blender.

Traditional oats will work, but they may leave a slightly more grainy texture – depending on how high powered your blender is.

Avoid steel cut oats as they won’t break down well.

Almond Butter

Almond butter is the secret to the lovely creamy, nutty flavor in this breakfast smoothie.

I experimented with peanut butter but found the flavour a little too overpowering in the drink. But if you love peanut butter it is a suitable substitute!

Vanilla

I use Vanilla essence or vanilla extract in my coffee recipes.

If you don’t have this ingredient at home you can substitute vanilla syrup – but note it will be sweeter, so you may not need to add the maple syrup as well.

How To Make A Healthy Coffee Smoothie Without Banana

It couldn’t be easier to make a healthy coffee smoothie without bananas.

Simply add all of your ingredients to your blender, pop the lid on and blend for 30-60 seconds or until nice and smooth.

If your blender has a smoothie setting, use that and let your blender do the work!

I always recommend trying a little bit of your blended drink before pouring it into your glass.

That way you can adjust for sweetness (or add more coffee) while the smoothie is still in the blender.

Pour your smoothie into a tall glass to enjoy right away or pour into your travel cup to enjoy on the go.

Coffee Oatmeal Smoothie Variations

There are so many ways you can vary this recipe – here are just a few ideas:

• Add a few tablespoons of protein powder to make a coffee protein smoothie.
• Use frozen coffee ice cubes instead of brewed coffee. Frozen coffee is great to have in the freezer for the times you forget to brew your coffee the night before.
• Add your favourite spice for extra flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg or cacao all work nicely.
