A cool, creamy smoothie that will wake you up!
I was at Dunkin Donuts a couple weeks ago and Colin decided to try their new Girl Scout flavored coffees. He got the peanut butter one and I tried a sip. It was okay, but I felt like it was missing something. I felt like it needed to be in smoothie form.
That’s how the idea for this super simple and quick smoothie blossomed.

This is one of the quickest smoothies to blend together, as long as you have the coffee pre-brewed and cooled down enough. It is the perfect smoothie to pair with your breakfast because, hello…coffee! But it’s also a great afternoon pick me up or pre-workout smoothie, as well.
This smoothie combines my favorite things, peanut butter and coffee and blends them perfectly together for a deliciously creamy beverage. This is definitely out of the smoothies I typically make, which tend to be very fruit forward and made with a milk of some sort.

I love experimenting with new smoothie combos to mix up my routine. This one definitely leans more towards tasting like dessert since it is a little richer in flavor. The coffee notes really come through towards the end and it’s more of a coffee aftertaste then a super in your face coffee drink.
The recipe makes one large smoothie, so you could cut back on the amount of banana and coffee if you wanted to make a smaller serving. Blend it up and let me know what you think!
