Banana and Coffee Smoothie

Serves 1
• 75ml Coffee, brewed and cooled 
• 25ml of Milk 
• 100g Vanilla Ice Cream
• 1 Medium ripe Banana 
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Using Tefal PerfectMix Cook Blender

Prepare the Ingredients:

• Brew the coffee and let it cool to room temperature using your coffee of choice.

• Measure out 25ml of milk. Whole milk will give a richer flavour, but you can use any milk, including plant-based options like almond, soy, or oat milk.

• Weigh 100g of vanilla ice cream or approximately two large scoops.

• Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.

• Measure out ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Blend the Smoothie:

• Pour the cooled coffee into the Tefal blender and add the milk, vanilla ice cream, banana chunks and ground cinnamon.

• Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well mixed.

Serve:

• Pour the smoothie into a tall glass.

• Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a banana slice on the rim of the glass.

• Drink immediately for the best taste and texture. 

Freeze your Bananas in advance and blend them to form a banana ice cream, serve this with Christmas desserts. This is a great way to reduce waste and use soft, ripe bananas which were destined for the waste bin.
