Recipe Modifications for Making Your Iced Healthy Coffee Smoothie at Home
If you want to add more to your coffee smoothie, try any of these modifications.
Collagen Powder
Add a scoop of collagen powder to increase the protein count. Collagen also helps build healthy and strong nails!
Powdered Milk
For a rich coffee smoothie, swap out the milk with a scoop of powdered milk. Powdered milk will add a creamy texture, and the extra fat in whole powdered milk vs. 1% milk will make the coffee shake tastier.
Frozen Banana
Peel you the banana and put it in the freezer. A frozen banana vs. a regular banana makes a coffee smoothie extra tasty and refreshing on a hot day!
Vitamins
If you hate taking vitamins each day, add them to your smoothie and drink them! One of my daily vitamins if Acetyl L-Carnitine.
What’s Your Go-To Smoothie to Make at Home?

I may start making more smoothies again now that it’s summer-time. I love a good fruit smoothie after dinner as a healthy dessert.
