no banana almond butter coffee smoothie

Creamy Coffee Smoothie with Almond Butter (No Banana)

This no-banana coffee smoothie is made with almond butter, espresso shots, and chocolate protein powder, and serves two people. For some, this almond butter coffee smoothie will taste absolutely divine, with a rich chocolate mousse-like texture that thickens as it stands. I've since updated the recipe, swapping in vanilla protein powder and reducing the quantities of each ingredient to make it more pourable and less coffee-intense!

Notes

Updated Coffee Smoothie Recipe

This version of the coffee smoothie has been slightly adjusted for a milder flavor while still keeping the rich coffee and creamy texture. If you prefer a less intense coffee kick, this adjustment may be perfect for you.
Updated Adjustments:
  • Espresso Shots: 1.5 cups (instead of 2 cups) for a more balanced coffee flavor.
  • Almond Milk: 2.5 cups (instead of 2 cups) to dilute the espresso and make it creamier.
  • Chia and Flaxseeds: Reduced to 1 teaspoon each, to give a lighter texture while still adding health benefits.
