Rise and Shine Banana Coffee Shake

Rise and Shine every morning with this Banana Coffee Shake: A thick creamy drink with a kick of caffeine to get you going!

Made with Greek yogurt and chia seeds, this delicious concoction also packs a protein and fiber punch.

With the days starting to get warmer, a hot cup of coffee might not sound too appealing first thing in the day.

There is the option of an iced or cold coffee, or even a cold coffee shake, but even that gets old after a while. And it doesn’t really have much nutritional benefit to it either.

So instead, here’s a milkshake with caffeine. 

Not only does it taste delicious, its also got some good stuff in there.

The ingredients:

• Banana: The key! Rich in potassium, and naturally sweet so you don’t need any sugars in here. 
• Non-fat Greek Yogurt: Adds a bunch of protein to make this shake a little thicker , healthy and more filling too!
• Almond Milk: Just to thin it down and keep the calories low. A light coconut milk would work great here too. Keeps this a milk free and dairy free smoothie.
• Chia Seeds: Healthy fats and fiber! Get your omega-3s in 🙂
• Instant Coffee: An easier option because there’s no espresso needed. Don’t need to brew a cup of coffee just for the recipe either.
• Maple Syrup, Stevia Sweetened: A tiny bit of sweetness to compensate for the bitter coffee and sour yogurt. Use a stevia sweetened version to keep it natural and low cal.
• Vanilla Extract: A little something extra
• Cinnamon & Nutmeg: Just to add a little richness!

Thick shake:

Make sure you slice and freeze the bananas completely before using them here. It not only makes the drink think, but creamy too.

You might be able to get away with regular bananas and ice, but I haven’t experimented with that (yet). Let me know if you do!

Also, cold yogurt.

Dairy Free, Paleo and Vegan?

Use a coconut yogurt or almond yogurt instead. It won’t have as much protein, and a little more fat, but the thick milkshake consistency is worth it!

Shakes with frozen bananas are super popular, what with green smoothies and all that, but none of them come close to this one.

Its the perfect breakfast banana shake, with a caffeine boost!
