A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.

The Smoothie King Coffee High Protein Vanilla is very easy to make:

• Step 1: Place dates, almonds, cold brew coffee, nonfat milk, Collagen Boost, whey protein powder, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
• Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
• Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
• Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, substitute the nonfat milk with almond milk or oat milk.

You can also replace the whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder to make this smoothie vegan.

For an extra flavor twist, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
