Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy milk, any other plant based milk
- 1 banana, frozen
- ¼ cup brewed coffee (or 1-3 tsp of instant coffee)
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1-2 dates (or Homemade Date Syrup)
- ¼ tsp vanilla bean powder substitute with 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp cashew butter, or any other nut butter
- 4-5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or coffee strength as desired.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Use frozen banana for a thick, creamy texture—fresh banana will make it more liquid.
- Instant coffee dissolves best and ensures a smooth blend. If using brewed coffee, let it cool completely before adding.
- Soy milk adds creaminess and protein, but you can swap for another unsweetened plant milk if needed.
- Cashew butter offers a mild, creamy flavor. If using another nut or seed butter, note that it may change the taste slightly.
- Adjust sweetener to taste: the banana may be sweet enough for some; if so, omit the dates.
- Blend for 45–60 seconds to ensure flaxseeds, dates, and other ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Drink immediately for best flavor and texture, or store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
- For Daniel Fast compliance, replace the coffee with roasted chicory root or Dandy Blend, and use alcohol-free vanilla extract.
