How to Make Frozen Coffee Smoothie

  1. In a heatproof mug, dissolve 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in 1 cup of freshly brewed, hot, strong coffee. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. Scrape the seeds from 1/2 a vanilla bean and add the seeds and the bean pod to the coffee. Steep for 10 minutes to infuse the coffee with vanilla flavor.
  3. Remove the vanilla bean pod from the coffee. Let the coffee cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
  4. Once the coffee is chilled, add 2 peeled ripe bananas, 1/4 cup of slivered almonds, and the chilled coffee to a high-powered blender.
  5. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is finely crushed, but not completely pulverized. You want a slightly icy texture.
  7. Pour the Frozen Coffee Smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy!
