Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Combine the hot coffee, banana, condensed milk, chocolate syrup, and protein powder in a high-powered blender. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Secure the lid tightly and cover with a folded kitchen towel to prevent splattering. Start the blender on a low pulse to incorporate the ingredients, then increase the speed and blend until completely smooth and creamy. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Divide the ice cubes evenly among 4 large glasses. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

04

Step
1 mins

Carefully pour the blended coffee mixture over the ice in each glass. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

05

Step

Serve immediately with a straw and encourage stirring as the drink cools to ensure even distribution of flavors.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg to the blender.
Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup to your desired level of sweetness.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, use slightly frozen banana slices.
For a vegan option, use a plant-based protein powder and sweetened condensed milk alternative.
