Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
1. Can I use regular coffee instead of instant coffee?

Yes, you can! However, make sure to chill the coffee first. Hot coffee can melt the ice and make the smoothie watery. For the best results, brew your coffee the night before and refrigerate it.

2. How long does the smoothie last?

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick stir or shake before drinking, as it may separate slightly.

3. Can I omit the banana?

Absolutely! If you’re not a fan of bananas or don’t have any on hand, you can substitute with Greek yogurt for creaminess or rolled oats for thickness. Both options add a unique texture and extra nutrients.

4. Is this smoothie vegan-friendly?

Yes, it can be! Simply use a plant-based protein powder and swap the milk for almond, oat, or soy milk. You can also replace honey with maple syrup or date syrup for sweetness.

5. Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the ingredients in advance. Freeze the banana slices and pre-measure the protein powder, cocoa, and other dry ingredients. When you’re ready, just blend and go!
