What You’ll Need:

1/2 frozen banana (for creaminess)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Substitutions & Variations:

No almond butter? Use peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter instead.
Dairy-free? You’re good to go with almond milk, but oat milk or coconut milk works too!

Make Ahead Tips:

Brew your coffee the night before and store it in the fridge so it’s ready to go in the morning.
