Can I use instant coffee in this smoothie?

Absolutely! Just dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee in a tablespoon of hot water first, then let it cool before blending. I've done this in a pinch—it works great, though freshly brewed coffee gives the best flavor.

Is this peanut butter coffee smoothie vegan?

Easily! Just swap the milk for almond or oat milk and skip the honey (or use maple syrup). My vegan friends love this version—it's just as creamy and delicious.

What if I don't have frozen bananas?

No worries! Use a fresh banana and add extra ice cubes instead. The texture will be slightly less creamy, but still totally drinkable. Pro tip: peel and freeze bananas when they're ripe—future you will thank you!

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

Honestly, it's best fresh—the ice melts and the texture changes. If you must prep ahead, blend everything except the ice and store in the fridge overnight. Add ice when you're ready to drink and blend again.

Will this keep me full until lunch?

The peanut butter's protein and healthy fats definitely help! For extra staying power, I sometimes add a tablespoon of chia seeds or oats—they blend right in and make it even more satisfying.
