If breakfast is usually a coffee and a banana, try putting them together. This coffee banana smoothie is ready in 5 minutes, and you can prep it the night before so it's ready to blend when you get up.
Coffee banana smoothie recipe
Makes: 2 glasses
Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas, chopped and frozen
- 120ml brewed coffee, cooled
- 120g Greek-style yoghurt
- 180ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
Method
- Put everything except the honey in a blender and blend for about a minute, until smooth and frothy. Add a splash more milk if it's too thick.

How to make a smoothie freezer pack
Make a few of these at the weekend and you'll have breakfast ready to go all week. Each pack makes one smoothie.
- 1 tbsp finely ground coffee
- ½ frozen banana
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Put the ground coffee, banana and vanilla in a small freezer bag. Press out the air, seal and freeze.
- When you're ready, pour 180ml milk and 120ml chilled brewed coffee into a blender. Add the frozen pack and blend until smooth. Sweeten with honey to taste.
Tips
- Make your coffee a little stronger than usual, so the flavour comes through the banana and milk.
- Brew it the night before and keep it in the fridge. Or try cold brew, which is naturally smooth and sweet.
