If you’re looking for a healthy and refreshing drink that will give you energy, you should try this coffee smoothie recipe. We’ve spent a long time perfecting this recipe to get the perfect coffee taste and texture, reminiscent of Wendy’s Frosty, but with healthy ingredients. The recipe is inspired by a drink from a local coffee shop in town, where they call it the “Healthy Elephant” (so you can call it that too if you want!). Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
Ingredients:
Frozen bananas
Espresso, cold brew, or strong coffee – see notes on the different methods below!
Oats
Almond butter
Milk of your choice: dairy or non-dairy
Honey
Ice
Instructions:
Start by preparing the coffee or espresso. Let it cool.
In a blender, add the frozen bananas, oats, almond butter, milk, honey, and ice.
Add the coffee or espresso that you have cooled.
Blend everything together in the blender until you have a smooth and even consistency.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve!
Notes:
You can use either espresso, cold brew, or strong coffee in the recipe. If you use cold brew or strong coffee, the consistency of the smoothie will be slightly different than if you use espresso.
To make cold brew, add coffee and cold water to a container and let it sit in the fridge for at least 12 hours. Strain out the coffee beans, and you have cold brew!
If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk to thin it out.
We hope you’ll try this coffee smoothie recipe and enjoy it as a healthy and refreshing drink. Bon appetit!
