Used chilled espresso and I wasn't thinking about calories- so I used heavy cream.
Yum! I didn't add any sweetener because the banana was so ripe and sweet. This was just the thing for a warm summer morning.

Yum yum yum. I was expecting kind of a low-fat coffee-banana shake but this really was more like a creamy iced latte with a heavy hint of banana, and just great. The frozen banana gave it the body/creaminess it needed being lowfat, and saying this from Seattle, where I could be lynched for such talk, I’d have to say this beats the calorie-laden creamy coffee drinks you can buy hands down, because it not only tastes good, the fat grams won't kill me! It's also dirt cheap compared to buying it. I added a packet of equal, cuz I like ‘em a little sweet, and used ridiculously strong coffee to mimic espresso.

This was fantastic! I used strong brewed espresso, chilled, and added somewhat less than 1/2 cup of lowfat milk for a very very deep coffee taste. I also added about a tsp of sugar. I started with 2 small ice cubes, and stopped there, because they were watering down the taste. Next time I will omit them altogether. I love the fact that this is lowfat and healthy, but tastes very rich, with a nice creamy texture and deeply delicious taste. Thanks, Cornelia!

Oh yum! I made strong chocolate mocha hot cocoa with skim milk and chilled it for this drink. So mine is an Iced Banana Mocha Latte! The calories go up because the hot cocoa has calories and the extra milk adds them too, but it is an excellent treat!

Well, this needed some melting of ice. I think I made my coffee strong enough to walk. I had to double the milk!! lol I added the sugar, because I like sweet. This was delicious, and would be a wonderful breakfast in the summer. Thanks for a keeper, Bev.

This is great. I have made it every evening since I found the recipe. I walk 3 miles every night and it's so hot!!! The smoothie is great, tastes good, cools me off and fills me up. It's also easy to vary the taste by making the coffee stronger if you want.
