I'm a human being on planet earth. I've lived hundreds of lifetimes. In this incarnation I'm here to advance medicine.

Upon discovering the wonder that is blended frozen bananas many years ago, I completely gave up using ice in homemade fruit smoothies. Why use flavorless ice when you can add natural sweetness and a think, creamy, icy consistency with one healthy ingredient?

Therefore, I initially didn’t think twice about using frozen banana as the base of this mocha smoothie. Then I started dumping the ingredients into our blender, and began to doubt whether coffee & banana would taste good together.

Turns out, they do! At least, I think they do… in this application, at least.

The recipe – although simple – does require some forethought as it calls for chilled brewed coffee and frozen bananas. I keep a container of peeled banana slices in the freezer pretty much all of the time, and we often have coffee leftover from when John makes it on the weekends.

This is a fun, tasty, and healthy way to simultaneously get your morning (or afternoon) java fix and satisfy your sweet tooth without blowing cash or calories on a commercially produced coffee smoothie.
