Thick, creamy, and unexpectedly balanced, this bracing morning blend pairs rich coffee with sweet mixed berries. Frozen bananas and hemp seeds give the drink a satisfying texture without making it overly sweet. It's a smart option for busy mornings when you need both breakfast and caffeine in one glass. Using a fruit-forward coffee roast really brings out the natural sweetness of the blackberries or blueberries.

Notes
Prep: Peel and quarter fresh bananas before freezing them in an airtight container so they're always ready for smoothies.
Consistency: Adjust the thickness of your smoothie by choosing the right coffee temperature. Use ice-cold coffee for a thicker drink, or room-temperature coffee for a thinner result.
