Training: Run 3km / Body Balance / Run 5km
Since last Saturday, I have been craving an iced coffee. Why? I am not really sure.
All I know is that when Mr BBB and I arrived home after our post-work run, the all too familiar cold-coffee craving returned.
And who was I to say no to such a smooth talkin' craving?
Given dinner was not too far away, I wanted to keep the iced coffee simple yet nutritious. So, there was no ice-cream or cream in this version.
There was, however, a tonne of taste as coffee, frozen banana, vanilla extract and oat milk combined to make a delicious post-run iced coffee.
Or coffee-nana smoothie if you will.
It was cold.
It was thick and creamy.
It was caffeinated.
It hit the spot.
And, it was actually quite the perfect post run refreshment!
Demolished.
Smooth Talkin’ Coffee-nana Smoothie (serves 1)
- 1 tbs freshly ground coffee
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 frozen banana, cut into chunks
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp chia seeds
Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth.
What about you? What is your favourite smoothie combination?
Happy Baking :)

ReplyDeleteOOH! Saving this recipe!
ReplyDeleteYum, I need to freeze some bananas ASAP.
ReplyDeleteooo, that looks great.
ReplyDeleteI did something similar with hot chocolate powder instead of coffee a little while back, it was lovely!
You're a genius! Banana + coffee sounds like an awesome combination. I will certainly try it after one of my runs this week. My favourite so far will be soy milk + banana + strawberries + cocoa:)
ReplyDeleteHoly delicious!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE putting coffee powder in my smoothies! Much better than yesterday when I put a weird protein powder from the US in and it tasted like vomit.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of adding coffee to smoothies, I'm glad to know how simple it can be. I'll try this out when the weather warms up, or for a delicious post-long run drink.
ReplyDeleteIf I drink coffee, I actually prefer iced coffee.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite smoothie has avocado in it, and it actually comes out like mousse, lol.
That looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO refreshing and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big-time Green Monster smoothie fan! Love getting in all that spinachy goodness with banana, strawberries, pb, and carrots. Mmmmmmm...!
That looks AWESOME. I've always been scared to use coffee in my smoothies/food - I've seen Caitlin do it a bunch with oats - but this looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeletefabulous smoothie, i forget about the chia seeds in my fridge, i'll have to remember them next time :) i've been doing almond milk/protein powder/spinach/frozen banana lately...
ReplyDeleteI really love mango and strawberry smoothies, but the idea of coffee is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love the idea of packing as much as possible into a smoothie!
ReplyDeleteI love coffee in smoothies!!
ReplyDeletenow i feel like iced coffee too!!!! i love your banana coffee idea, i think i'll be buying bananas today.......
ReplyDeleteso yummy. the only way I like bananas if they are blended into something. I so should have bought some while they were cheap and frozen...
ReplyDeleteOK you're going to laugh at me Lisa but when I first saw nana I thought you meant Nanna! I thought it was a grandmotherly smoothie! :P
ReplyDeleteSo yummy! I love an orange and banana mix, it's a great combo.
