Coffee, Banana, and Hazelnut Shake


I’m a big fan of the smoothie-as-breakfast—while I’m quenching my thirst, I’m also filling my belly—and this recipe is one of my very favorites. I put it all together the night before so that in the a.m. I can just stumble to my blender, toss everything in and whiz it up.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, chilled
  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts, soaked in water (at room temperature) overnight, drained
  • 1/4 cup milk, nut milk, or soy milk
  • 1 frozen peeled banana
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 5 ice cubes


DIRECTIONS

  1. Add chilled coffee, hazelnuts, milk, banana, and agave nectar to blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Add ice and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer to one or two glasses, sprinkle with coconut and serve immediately.
