Vietnamese Coconut Coffee Smoothie
A rich and creamy blended drink inspired by Vietnamese iced coffee, layering bold espresso or strong drip coffee with sweet coconut milk and frozen banana for a naturally thick, indulgent texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso (cooled), cooled

- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
