Alright, let’s talk banana coffee (or banana latte, if you’re feeling fancy). This thing blew up in Korea a while back and, honestly, it kind of lives up to the hype. Creamy, sweet, basically a smoothie that got lost and ended up at a coffee bar. Wanna make it at home? Here’s the quick-and-dirty.

Prep Time: Five minutes, tops.

Cooking Time: Ha, none. Your stove can nap.

Total Time: Just 5 minutes. Seriously, you’ll spend more time finding your favorite mug.

Difficulty: Yeah, it’s easy. Like, “I barely woke up and I still nailed it” easy.

Serves: :1 or 2 folks. Or just you, twice.

Honestly, this recipe’s a lifesaver when you need something fast to yank you into the land of the living—whether it’s 8am or let’s be real, 2pm.

WHAT YOU NEED

·       Grab 1 or 2 bananas that are about to die in your fruit bowl. They gotta be ripe—brown spots are good.

·       Cup of milk, whatever kind. Cow, oat, almond—dealer’s choice.

·       A shot of espresso, or half a mug of hardcore brewed coffee. Don’t skimp!

·       Tablespoon of honey or whatever sweetener floats your boat (if you even want it).

·       Splash of vanilla extract, cause why not? (Optional.)

·       Ice cubes if you want to chill out.

HOW TO DO IT

Step 1.

Chuck the banana, milk, honey, and maybe vanilla into a blender. Hit that button till it’s all silky.

Step 2.

Get your coffee ready. Like, don’t burn it this time.

Step 3.

Dump the banana mix into your favorite glass, pour in your hot (or cold!) coffee. Give it a stir.

Step 4.

Hot or iced, it’s all good. If you’re a true iced coffee freak, whack in some ice cubes.

Macros

Alright, let’s break it down, banana coffee style—kinda like a nutrition label but with less attitude. So, in one cup, you’re looking at somewhere between 150 and 200 calories (give or take, nobody’s counting every crumb here).

Protein? You’ll snag 5 to 7 grams, but that number depends on whether you’re rolling with oat milk, whole milk, or whatever’s lurking in the back of your fridge.

Fat’s hanging out in the 7-to-10-gram range—again, milk makes all the difference.

Carbs? Oh, those are coming in hot at about 20 to 25 grams. Blame the banana, blame the milk. They’re both guilty.

Fiber’s not gonna blow your mind—2 or 3 grams if you’re lucky, thanks to the banana.

Honestly, your numbers might bounce around depending on how much banana you chuck in or if you accidentally double pour the milk (happens to the best of us). It’s all a bit of a guess, but hey, that’s half the fun, right?

 

WANNA MESS AROUND WITH IT?

·       Banana Matcha Latte: Swap coffee for matcha—pretty and kind of healthy if you squint.

·       Protein Banana Latte: Throw in some protein powder. Boom, post-gym treats.

·       Spiced Banana Latte: Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom—go wild if you are feeling basic fall vibes.

·       Keeping it vegan? Just use plant milk, no drama.

LITTLE HACKS

·       Ugly ripe bananas taste best. Trust me.

·       Sweetness = personal. Some folks like it sugar-high, others keep it mellow.

·       Different coffees = different buzz. Try cold brew, French press, or whatever’s lurking in the back of your cupboard.

FAQs

1. Can I use unripe bananas? 

Nope, you really want those ripe, kind of spotty bananas. Unripe ones are starchy and bland—they’ll wreck the vibe. Trust me, go ripe or go home.

2. What’s the best kind of milk? 

Honestly, it doesn’t matter. Use whatever you dig—cow, almond, oat, soy, unicorn milk (okay, probably not that last one). Your coffee, your rules.

3. Can I do this without a blender? 

Sure, you can go to old school and mash the bananas by hand, then stir in the milk. It’ll be a bit chunky, though. Wanna keep it silky? Blenders all the way.

4. How much coffee do I toss in? 

Up to you! If you’re a rookie, start with one espresso shot or half a cup of strong brew. Hardcore caffeine junkie? Ramp it up.

5. Can I throw in extra stuff? 

Go wild! Sprinkle in some cinnamon, dump in protein powder, or throw in whatever random spice you love. Nobody’s judging—make it weird and wonderful.

6. Is banana coffee cool for kids? 

Yeah, if you dial down the coffee. It’s a sneaky way to get ‘em into “coffee” without the full caffeine blast. Just use common sense, alright? No one wants a toddler climbing the walls.

 That’s pretty much it. Go experiment, spill a little, make a mess—banana coffee’s not about rules.
