Tips from the Chef
Use ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess.
Cold brew coffee provides a smoother coffee flavor with less acidity.
Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred sweetness level.
For a vegan option, ensure the honey is replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Add a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout boost.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
