Instructions
Blend all ingredients. Add more ice as desired.
I like to blend well with about 1/2 cup of ice and then slowly blend with another 1/2 cup ice. This makes for a slushier shake. Enjoy!
Notes
*For a stronger coffee flavor, use 1 cup chilled coffee and omit the milk. I also like subbing cold-brew concentrate for the coffee. It has a smoother flavor. You can make your own or buy it at most grocery stores. Trader Joe's has a great option. **For a creamier smoothie with a little more staying power, add a half to a whole ripe frozen banana.
