Before trying out (Dalgona coffee) whipped coffee, I made whipped matcha and loved everything about it. Great taste, texture, and perfect for warm weather. After tasting it I decided to take the flavor I love from an iced vanilla latte and combine it with the Dalgona Coffee.

What Type of Sugar Do I Need?

I tested the recipe with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Both work to stabilize the coffee and maintain the texture.

Do I Have to Use an Electric Mixer?

No. You can use a whisk to whip up the coffee. However, it will take much longer (about 10 minutes). Your arm will get tired from whisking, but it works.

When using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, it takes about 5 minutes. Make sure you whisk the coffee in a mixing bowl. This will allow enough air to get incorporated into the mixture. Also, you don’t want to burn yourself with the boiling water.

Can I Make this Drink Hot or Iced?

You get to decide! Add ice to the milk if you prefer it cold. To make it hot, warm up the milk, but avoid bringing it to a boil. Instead, let it simmer in a small pot.

Is Dalgona Coffee the Same as Whipped Coffee?

At first, I was unfamiliar with the drink. However, I learned more about it on Pinterest. Turns out, they mean the same thing. Dalgona coffee originates from South Korea. In 2020, it became a viral trend.  People loved its simplicity. Most importantly, there are few ingredients, making it easy for people to make at home.

How to Make Vanilla Bean Whipped Coffee

A vanilla bean simple syrup adds sweetness, which makes it taste more like a vanilla latte. Whipped coffee on its own has some bitterness, but simple syrup balances it out.

Step 1: Make the simple syrup. To make the simple syrup, add water and sugar to a pan and whisk occasionally. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and add the vanilla bean paste.

Step 2: Whip the instant coffee. Add almond extract, boiling water, instant coffee, and sugar to a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer and whisk. Start slow, and gradually work up to a higher setting. Mix for about 5 minutes.

Pour milk into a 12-ounce glass, place a large scoop of whipped coffee on top, and stir.

Do I Have to Use Instant Coffee?

Yes, instant coffee grounds dissolve in the hot water. Using espresso powder or ground coffee beans creates a gritty texture that sticks between your teeth.

What Can I Serve With Vanilla Bean Whipped Coffee?

This drink is great to have in the morning, but it’s also nice to have with dessert:

This summer, I have leaned into the matcha trend. After trying my first homemade iced matcha, I fully embraced this viral drink. My favorite thing about my recipe is the balance of flavors that I couldn’t find in other variations. Typically, the drink is too strawberry-forward (still delicious, but something was missing). However, this drink is made with a strawberry puree infused with fresh lime, topped with earthy matcha, creating a refreshing blend of strawberry matcha goodness.

If iced matcha is your favorite drink at Starbucks, give this recipe a try! It’s easy and ready to serve in 5 minutes!

Never heard of matcha? You’re not alone! Recently, I discovered that matcha is green tea leaves that have been crushed into a fine powder. Matcha contains a little more caffeine than a cup of coffee. According to Real Simple, this amounts to an average of 30 to 50 milligrams of caffeine.

Of course, your caffeine intake will depend on the amount of matcha powder you add to your latte. It’s no surprise that an iced strawberry matcha latte is a nice alternative for those who aren’t ritual coffee drinkers. This is a gentler energy boost than your morning coffee. There’s nothing worse than getting caffeine jitters.

As it turns out, the composition of matcha includes bioactive compounds that happen to be beneficial to your health. These benefits include positive effects fighting against bacteria, allergies, and inflammation, based on reporting by Melissa Hogenboom, presenter at the BBC.

In my experience, the only place I could get matcha was at a coffee shop. But… luckily, I found Matcha Latte Mix at Trader Joe’s this month. I have a strong suspicion that this product is seasonal, so enjoy it while you can!

Ingredients

• Frozen Strawberries: Before blending the ingredients for the puree, I measure the strawberries and let them thaw inside a Ziplock bag. Bag = less mess! You can use fresh if that’s what you have on hand.
• Matcha: Use the matcha of your choice. Matcha varies in quality and taste. Plus, you may notice differences in color or sweetness.
• Milk: For this recipe, I used lactose-free milk. You can make this a vegan matcha latte by substituting the milk with dairy-free milk. My favorite milk alternative for lattes is the Califia Farms Oat Milk. Nut milk tends to have a strong aftertaste; luckily, this oat milk doesn’t have that problem.
• Maple Syrup: Serves as a sweetener that balances the tartness from the lime. More sweetener can be added as needed.

How To Make A Strawberry Matcha Latte

Step 1. Heat water, then add matcha and maple syrup, and stir. Set aside.

Step 2. Fill a large glass with ice. Add 1/4 cup strawberry puree.

Step 3. Pour milk, then the matcha mixture. Stir and serve immediately.

Notes

1. For convenience, the strawberry puree can be made ahead of time. When making ahead, store in a mason jar or container. Refrigerate up to 3 days.
2. If your using a different brand of matcha I recommend preparing the matcha in a bowl. Add some hot water to the bowl and whisk. Pour the remaining water, continue to whisk with a bamboo whisk until the mixture is smooth. This process removes clumps.

Reasons to Love This Green Smoothie Without Milk

This dairy-free green smoothie recipe is perfect for anyone reluctant to add vegetables to their smoothies. Over the years, I have been making smoothies for a quick breakfast or a mid-day refreshment. I love making healthy drinks that taste good enough to enjoy any time of day. Most importantly, I can’t deny the improvement in my skin. With over 5 different fruits, this smoothie makes it easy to incorporate fruit into my diet.

If you’re searching for a way to incorporate more leafy greens into your diet this is the easiest way. The presence of vegetables in some smoothie recipes is overpowering. Instead of using almond milk, which tends to give green smoothies a harsh taste, I use mango nectar to blend the smoothie and add flavor.

The delicious tang from the pineapple and the sweet combination of avocado, tropical fruit, and mango nectar create a tasty smoothie you’ll want to make again, and again! The different flavors work together seamlessly. Most importantly, your kids will love this drink too! They’ll have no idea this green smoothie is secretly healthy. My nephew wanted to taste test, and it is officially toddler-approved.

My favorite thing about this green smoothie is that you can’t taste the spinach. Plus, it’s packed with fruit and a whole cup of greens. In my experience the flavor profile of spinach is mild in comparison to kale. For that reason, I prefer to use baby spinach.

In addition to the fruit, this smoothie recipe is highly customizable. Sometimes, I like to mix things up with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a scoop of protein powder.

Ingredients

• Baby spinach: Fresh spinach is a great way to add more vitamins.
• Banana: Banana gives the smoothie a mild sweetness.
• Frozen fruit: A blend of frozen mango, peach, pineapple, and strawberry is delicious and provides vitamins and nutrients.
• Avocado: Avocado improves the texture, adds flavor, and healthy fats.
• Mango nectar: Mango nectar and tropical fruit make a fantastic combination in this recipe. Also, it enhances the flavor of the frozen fruit in this smoothie.

Easy Collagen Coffee Smoothie

A collagen coffee smoothie is a great caffeine boost when the weather is too hot. If you’ve ever started sweating while drinking a hot cup of coffee during the summer, you’re not alone! I have a difficult time sipping on hot drinks when the weather starts to heat up.

This drink is the perfect alternative to a piping hot latte. Plus, you get the added benefits from collagen peptides. This is my favorite smoothie to drink in the morning. It’s delicious and has just enough sweetness. Protein powder is a popular ingredient in smoothie recipes. However, some people notice a positive difference after introducing collagen into their diet. What’s more, it’s a delicious drink with rich coffee flavor! Instead of venturing out to your local grocery store for cold brew, you can make this instead. It’s easy to make and doesn’t take too much time.

Ingredients For Collagen Coffee Smoothie

Here is the list of ingredients you’ll need to make this coffee smoothie. This smoothie is infused with nutrients like vitamin C. Get ready to enjoy this amazing smoothie that’s easy to make!

Coffee – Cold coffee is the main ingredient in this smoothie recipe. Additionally, the amount of coffee may not seem like much, but you’ll still be able to taste that bold flavor.

Oat Milk – Milk helps the frozen banana pieces blend more easily. Since this banana smoothie uses more than one banana, the extra liquid is essential.

Banana – There is no yogurt in this smoothie. Yogurt is a popular ingredient because it allows the smoothie to thicken. I opted for bananas to recreate that creamy texture you get from a smoothie recipe with yogurt. In its place, frozen banana creates a thick, creamy smoothie.

Collagen Peptides- Collagen peptide powder has a variety of benefits. Some versions are a great source of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. I like to use this brand.

Caramel Coffee Creamer – Caramel creamer is a flavor enhancer. In some cases, nut butter can enrich the flavor. However, caramel is sweeter and cuts the bitterness from the coffee.

Methods For Adding Coffee To Smoothies

There are several methods for brewing coffee. The coffee should have a nice smooth texture and bold flavor. This will have a positive impact on how your smoothie turns out!

1. Brew coffee using a single serve coffee maker. Alternatively, you can make a cup of instant coffee with coffee granules instead. Follow the instructions. Then chill the coffee until it’s cold.
2. Another option is to brew a pot of coffee. After brewing the coffee it will get very hot. Allow the coffee to cool down completely.

How To Make A Coffee Smoothie

See the recipe card for important notes and complete instructions.

Prepare bananas for the smoothie: First, slice the bananas. Then freeze them for about 12 hours. Place the bananas in a single layer inside a container. This prevents sticking.

Brew Coffee: Brew the coffee. I use medium roast K-cups. I prefer this because I can easily make a small amount of coffee. From there, measure the coffee and cover it with its plastic wrap. Then chill the coffee in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until cold.

Blend: After chilling the coffee, pour it into the blender with the milk. The liquid should be close to the blades to promote blending. Then add the frozen bananas, collagen powder, and caramel creamer. Since there is more than 1 banana in this recipe, you’ll get a hint of coffee banana flavor.

Toppings: Pour into a large glass to serve. Additionally, you can top this drink with salted caramel or chocolate chunks!

Recipe Success Tips

Additions And Variations For This Smoothie

Frozen coffee cubes: Add coffee ice cubes to your smoothie to keep it cold. Most importantly, it will increase the flavor in this delicious coffee smoothie recipe.

Salted caramel: Drizzle salted caramel inside the glass before pouring the smoothie. This will intensify the flavor.

Almond butter: Almond butter is a great source of protein.

Chia seeds: Add a teaspoon of chia seeds for fiber and calcium.

Unsweetened cocoa powder: Cocoa powder is an optional ingredient in this recipe (see recipe card for measurements). Coffee, chocolate, and caramel is an incredible combination. If you enjoy a little extra sweetness in your coffee you’ll love this delicious addition!

Feel free to replace your cold brew coffee with this easy coffee smoothie recipe. Serve this smoothie immediately. You’ll love drinking this with your breakfast. Best yet, it goes perfectly with a chocolate chip muffin or almond croissant. Start your day with the best collagen coffee smoothie.

Easy Pineapple Mocktails

When the weather starts to heat up, it’s time to relax. These pineapple mocktails are the best drink for lounging by the pool. If you love to host barbecues or small gatherings in the backyard, your friends can enjoy this delicious drink.

I love how simple this recipe is. You can make it without simple syrup, so that’s one less ingredient to buy.

Plus, there’s no beer or alcohol in this beverage.

Juice or coffee becomes boring over time. If you want to switch up and try something new, this mocktail is a great place to start. It’s easy and full of bright flavors.

Ingredients

Lemon-ginger Tea – Adds a subtle flavor that goes well with pineapple. The ginger adds a slight spice. While lemon pairs well with tropical fruits.

Honey – Slightly sweetens the tea.

Ice – Keeps your drink cold. Adding too much ice can water down your drink.

Pineapple – Fresh pineapple brings makes this drink delicious and tangy.

Mango Juice – Enriches the pineapple flavor. Instead of using pineapple juice, I opted for mango juice because it adds additional flavors that taste phenomenal.

Note: When shopping for mango juice, you may see a beverage called mango nectar. You can make the pineapple mocktail with this as well. Using a citrus fruit like lime may create a harsh after-taste, so mango juice is best.

Sparkling Water – Plain sparkling water compliments the flavor and gives it a nice, bubbly fizz.

How To Make Pineapple Mocktails

Brew the tea – Brew the lemon-ginger tea with a kettle or microwave 1/2 cup of water for 1 minute. After brewing the tea, place a tea bag in the tea. Let it steep in the refrigerator until chilled.

Make the pineapple-mango blend – Use a blender to purée the pineapple and juice for about 2 minutes. The puree should be smooth and have no chunks of pineapple.

Top with sparkling water – Pour sparkling water to your preferred taste. Stir everything together. Pour the pineapple mocktail into a 15 ounce glass. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

FAQ

Best Banana Smoothie Without Yogurt

This banana smoothie without yogurt is different than other smoothies. It celebrates the banana with ingredients that complement its flavor. In most cases, the sole purpose of the banana in a smoothie recipe is to create a creamy texture. However, this smoothie provides a banana flavor that’s not overpowering.

This recipe is easy. The frozen fruit adds thickens. It’s a better alternative than ice cubes because you won’t lose any flavor.

Ingredients Needed

• Frozen Bananas – Bananas thicken smoothies. Since frozen banana enhances texture, yogurt is unnecessary for this recipe. Additionally, ripe bananas are best when it comes to flavor. When bananas are overly ripe they may taste too sweet. On the other hand, an unripe banana can be bitter. For best results, use a yellow, ripe banana.
• All Spice – A smoothie with one flavor is boring. The allspice gives this drink a kick.
• Honey – The first banana smoothie I made had vanilla extract in it. It was too strong, so I opted for honey instead. Honey adds sweetness, but doesn’t have a strong aftertaste like vanilla does.
• Oat Milk – This is a dairy-free substitute for milk. Originally, I tried making this smoothie with 1 cup of oat milk. I find that less milk makes for a creamy banana smoothie.

If you like protein powder you can add it to this banana smoothie recipe. However, I recommend blending the ingredients first. Then add the protein powder to blend one more time.

How to Make a Dairy Free Banana Smoothie

Ingredient preparation – Freeze the bananas. When you slice and freeze the banana the smoothie has a better texture. You can store the bananas in freezer-safe bags, but they may stick together. To avoid this use a freezer-safe container instead.

Blend smooth – Add the ingredients to the blender. A high-powered blender will break up the bananas more easily with a small amount of liquid. For even blending, turn off the blender and use a silicon spatula to push down the fruit. Then blend again. You will need to do this several times. Add a little more oat milk if chunks of banana remain.

Serve: Pour into a tall glass or travel tumbler and serve. You can top off this banana smoothie with salted caramel for a sweet and salty twist.

You can have this healthy, delicious banana smoothie without yogurt in between meals or a light breakfast!

Recipe FAQ

How can I thicken my smoothie without yogurt?

Frozen fruit is one of the best ways to thicken a smoothie. Also, using less liquid will help thicken the smoothie as well.

Can you use ice instead of yogurt?

Some people use ice instead of yogurt. Keep in mind that using ice can reduce the flavor of your smoothie.

Homemade Strawberry Banana Smoothie Without Yogurt

This strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt takes 2 minutes to whip up. It has a fresh strawberry flavor with a slight tang from the orange juice. It’s an option for anyone looking for a dairy-free option. Made without plain Greek yogurt, which is in most smoothie recipes. When you don’t have time to make breakfast, you can make this smoothie. It’s quick.

I have a hard time eating fruit. This smoothie recipe is the easiest way to add fruit to my diet. If you’ve experienced this, you will love that this recipe only has 3 ingredients. It takes less time and energy since there’s no cooking involved. 

Ingredients

How To Make A Strawberry Banana Smoothie

First, you’ll need to freeze the fresh fruit. You can speed up the process by buying frozen strawberries. However, the banana needs to be frozen. I prefer to use freezer-safe containers to freeze a banana.

Slice the banana. Then use a pencil to outline the container on a sheet of parchment paper. I find that parchment prevents the bananas from sticking together. After tracing the outline, cut out the circle and place it inside the container. Next, arrange the bananas on top of the parchment paper. Cover and store in the freezer. For best results, freeze them overnight. 

Blend: Add the frozen fruit fruit and orange juice into a blender. 

Taste test: If the banana smoothie is too tart add more strawberries.

FAQ

Are smoothies better with milk or juice?

It depends on the ingredients. For instance, smoothies made with nut butter taste better with milk. Since this smoothie is strawberry-flavored, fruit juice is better when it comes to flavor.

How can I make a smoothie without ice?

To make a smoothie without ice, you need to substitute ice cubes with frozen fruit. Frozen banana helps with texture.

Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe

This peanut butter banana smoothie comes together in minutes. With only five ingredients, this smoothie makes for the perfect quick breakfast. If you’re in a rush, pour your peanut butter smoothie into a tumbler and go.

It’s a delicious drink. A healthy alternative to drinks loaded with sugar. Plus, it’s free! No more last-minute trips to the smoothie bar. This smoothie recipe saves you time. You’ll love the hint of spice you get from this beverage.

Better yet, if you’re tired of making smoothies with almond butter, this smoothie is a fantastic option if you want to switch things up.

Peanut butter is an excellent source of protein. Likewise, if you’ve been searching for smoothie recipes without yogurt, this is the perfect drink for you. Most smoothie recipes use Greek yogurt. However, you can enjoy this dairy-free option instead. This smoothie uses more than a tablespoon of peanut butter. This amount of peanut butter compensates for the absence of Greek yogurt and produces a creamy smoothie. This rich banana smoothie has a mild sweetness that goes well with the nutty flavor. By far, this is the easiest smoothie. Since there’s minimal prep, you can make this banana smoothie recipe in minutes.

Tips For Success: This recipe has not been tested with natural peanut butter. Organic peanut butter tends to be thicker and the oil separates after the first use. Typically, stirring organic peanut butter is enough to bring it back together. You may not get the same results when using natural or organic peanut butter. 

Smoothie Ingredients

How To Make A Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Freeze bananas: This is the only preparation required for this recipe. Chop the banana into pieces and transfer them into a freezer bag.
