  • The banana naturally sweetens everything so you do not need much added sugar
  • It takes literally five minutes from start to finish, including cleanup time
02 -
  • Using hot coffee will make the ice melt instantly and water down your whole drink
  • Frozen bananas change this entirely and make it taste like coffee ice cream
03 -
  • Brew your coffee the night before and keep it in the fridge so you are never waiting around for it to cool
  • Invest in frozen banana slices from the grocery store if you never remember to peel and freeze overripe bananas like I do
