June 11, 2026Craving coffee, but want something different from a regular iced coffee? Then a coffee smoothie is a tasty and quick way to combine coffee with a creamy smoothie full of flavour.
Yet coffee smoothies often turn out too watery, too bitter or far too heavy. With the right balance between coffee, banana and ice, you get a fresh, smooth smoothie that works perfectly as breakfast or a snack.
In this recipe you will learn step by step how to make a coffee smoothie, which coffee works best and how to make the smoothie extra creamy.
What is a coffee smoothie?
A coffee smoothie is a creamy mix of coffee, fruit, milk and ice cubes. You can think of it as a combination of a smoothie and an iced coffee: refreshing, smooth in flavour and often a little more filling than ordinary cold coffee.
The difference from a regular iced coffee lies mainly in the texture. An iced coffee stays more liquid, while a coffee smoothie feels thicker and fuller thanks to the fruit and any extra ingredients such as oats

Many homemade coffee liqueurs turn out too sweet, too sharp or lack that deep coffee flavour. A shame, because with the right coffee and a little patience you can make a version that comes surprisingly close to Tia Maria.
In this recipe you learn step by step how to make your own coffee liqueur, which coffee works best and how to keep the flavour nicely balanced.
What is Tia Maria?
Tia Maria is a coffee liqueur with a sweet, smooth flavour of coffee, vanilla and light caramel notes. The liqueur is often used in cocktails.
Making your own Tia Maria is popular because you can adjust the flavour entirely to your own taste. Do you use a strong espresso? Then the liqueur gains more depth. Add a little extra vanilla and it becomes softer and rounder in flavour instead.
