Start your day the right way with a coffee banana smoothie
What gets you out of bed in the morning? Bananas? A bowl of oats? A good cup of freshly brewed coffee? What about all three?
That’s right, because we’ve created a coffee banana smoothie that’ll give your AM a serious boost. It’s healthy, filling and super speedy – just what you need to take you from zero to hero on bleary-eyed mornings!
Smoothies can get some bad rap for being too sweet. And some, especially shop-bought ones, are basically sugar through a straw. But not our coffee smoothie. Packed with protein and high in fibre, it’s a complete, balanced breakfast in blended form. Its five ingredients will see you through the morning, no problem. There’s filling banana and oats for slow-release fuel, and caffeine to give you a jump-start on those mornings that feel like they might tip into a duvet day…
There are plenty of ways to customise your smoothie so it fits your lifestyle (or what you’ve got in the cupboard). Simply use plant-based milk if you are vegan or dairy-free. Maybe you’re nutty for PB? No problem – just sub the almond butter for a big ol’ dollop of its peanut cousin. The choice is yours post blend, too. Sip through a straw or turn it into a smoothie bowl that’ll go down a treat on your Insta.
Grab and go deliciousness for days when breakfast needs to be blendable!
Coffee Banana Smoothie
Ingredients
1 banana
150ml milk
1½ heaped tbsp oats
1 tbsp almond butter
1 shot or 100ml strongly brewed coffee
Handful ice
Method
Brew your coffee or make your espresso and leave to cool.
Measure out the other ingredients and add them to a blender. If you’re using brewed coffee rather than a shot of espresso, reduce the amount of milk to 100ml.
Blitz until smooth. Add a little more milk or a drop of water if it’s too thick.
Add a straw and sip away, because today’s going to be a good day!

Meet the chimp behind this article!
Head Chimp founded Two Chimps alongside Laura in 2016 after being self-employed from the age of 21. He caught the coffee bug from using an at-home roaster, and the rest is history!
What Andy does outside of the treehouse:
When the weather’s nice, Andy loves going on bike rides with his trusty sidekick, microchimp Felix (who always leads the way, of course). Andy also enjoys spending time tending to the family’s vegetable garden, and looking after their at-home farmyard, which includes a cat, two guinea pigs, and six chickens!
Andy says…
“I believe every day is a school day, and I’m always looking for opportunities to stick my head in a book and absorb new knowledge. I also love a problem to solve and fix – there’s no such thing as problems, only solutions.”
