Ingredients
- 125 ml Brewed coffee cooled
- 125 ml Cold water
- 2 Bananas
- 2 tablespoon Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 375 ml Skimmed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Dark chocolate grated; to serve
Instructions
- Make 125 ml Brewed coffee and top up with 125 ml Cold water. Allow to cool.
- Put the cooled coffee into a blender with 2 Bananas, 2 tablespoon Peanut butter, 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon Maple syrup, 375 ml Skimmed milk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract and 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon.
- Blend everything together.
- Serve in tall glasses topped with grated Dark chocolate (optional).
Notes
- Use a ripe banana for the best flavour. A banana with brown spots will make the smoothie sweeter and creamier than a firm yellow banana.
- Let the espresso cool before blending. Hot coffee can make the smoothie thinner and less refreshing, especially if you are using fresh rather than frozen banana.
- Blend the cocoa powder with the liquid ingredients well so it fully dissolves into the smoothie. This prevents any dry cocoa from sticking to the sides of the blender.
- Start with less maple syrup and add more after tasting. Bananas vary a lot in sweetness, so you may not need much sweetener at all.
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen banana or reduce the milk slightly. For a thinner smoothie, add more milk a little at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.
