I think when most people think of smoothie recipes, they imagine that you take fruits or vegetables and blend them together with a few other ingredients and, voila! Most of my friends are obsessed with iced coffee drinks or blended coffee drinks that they spend an insane amount of money buying at major coffee retailers. The frugal girl in me likes to make these at home and I have been trying to create a delicious coffee smoothie recipe with my Folgers coffee for quite some time.
You would be surprised how inexpensive and convenient it can be to make your own yummy coffee beverages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can even make them in the morning and take them with you on-the-go. This is a huge deal for me because mornings in our house tend to be extremely hectic with me getting ready for work and the kids getting ready for school.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time to spend making elaborate coffee drinks. However, my cup of Folgers coffee in the morning, regardless of its variety, is a must-have when it comes to getting me ready to face my students for the day. To make my coffee yogurt smoothie every morning, I use Folgers Classic Roast coffee and Folgers Flavors in caramel and vanilla latte.
Now I am able to enjoy enjoy a refreshing iced coffee anytime I wish. With Folgers Iced Café Coffee Drink Concentrates, it’s easy and quick to make iced coffee at home, at work—anywhere you’re craving a cool coffeehouse-style drink! All I have to do is mix them with cold milk and stir for a creamy, delicious treat that makes my day.
On mornings when I’m feeling especially fancy, I use Folgers Iced Café in Vanilla Latte flavor, to add a delicious kick to my coffee yogurt smoothie recipe. These days, “The best part of waking up” is still Folgers in my cup or in my coffee smoothie!
Let’s Discuss: What is your favorite coffee drink or beverage and how do you prepare it every morning?

Oh this looks and sounds amazing. I have to try these. Thanks for sharing.
Your Coffee Yogurt Smoothie Recipe looks so delicious and fun to make. I want to try this awesome recipe and see how it tastes. Perfect for Spring!
I actually don’t love hot coffee, but I can usually go for an iced coffee drink. I’ll have to try this smoothie. I bet my coffee-loving husband would also love it!
As someone who loves coffee and smoothies I am for sure trying this! Thanks so much for teh great recipe! I bet we will love it!
I LOVE coffee so this is right up my alley. I will be giving this one a try this weekend for sure. Thanks for sharing.
What a great way to get coffee into your smoothie! I love the caffeine boost to the smoothie, I need to try this out.
I should start making these for my husband. He is a paramedic and works 15 hours days and loves coffee and loves smoothies. Putting the 2 together is an awesome idea!
Oh my goodness! This is what I wanted. I’m a coffee lover and I wanna try your fantastic recipe! So glad you shared it. Love it.
I like coffee-infused drinks – but honestly never considered an “instant” coffee add to a smoothie! Great idea!
This is a great idea! I love iced coffee drinks but can never rationalize the cost of Starbucks. I’ll give this a try and maybe mix in a scoop of protein powder too! 🙂
Coffee and smoothie was all I needed to read lol. I love a good coffee drink and my favorite has always been cold coffee. I will be trying this!
OH YUM! I love the idea of a coffee smoothie. We just got a Vitamix, so I’ve been on a total smoothie kick (and using that blender for just about anything I can think of, LOL!). Thanks for sharing, this look yummy!
Oh man, I want one right now! I drink smoothies almost every day and this one has my favorite thing in it – coffee!
Looks yummy! You did a great job of creatively putting together this coffee smoothie! I am all about fruit smoothies, but this one does look fun!
Sounds like an incredible coffee smoothie. You’re right, we always associated smoothie with veggie and fruit, but actually the ingredients could be different than those two popular ingredients. I’m curious though about the combo flavors of coffee and yogurt.
I had something similar to these this morning! I love the combination of coffee, milk and froth. I add ice also to give it a bit of thickness.
That looks splendid, easy and delicious. It’s great having a new way to drink my coffee!
What a great combination of flavors! I am not a coffee drinker, but I have some friends would love this.
I think this sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing, my husband loves these and spends $6-7 each for one. I am sure I can save him a lot of money by making these for him!
Wow, yes, amazing this is definitely my style will be making this perfection ASAP. Love it!
I gave up coffee over eight years ago, but I used to enjoy Frappe. It’s coffee, milk and sugar blended to a foam in a tall cup. I used to drink it a lot!
I don’t get how I hate coffee but love it in smoothies? This sounds great! Pinning to try soon!
This is an amazing recipe. Love the idea of this. Yummy!
Now this sounds like the ultimate dream! I love coffee ( decaf as I can’t have caffeine) and this sounds like the boost I need.
I love making smoothies with coffee. Actually I love almost anything that has to do with coffee. Ha.
I have never tried a coffee smoothie but I do like coffee and smoothies. I’ll have to give this recipe a go one of these days.
This looks so yummy, I wish I drank coffee. Love the smell of it, but can’t take the taste. My husband on the other hand, would love this. Must try it for him.
I seriously can’t get enough coffee! This looks like the kind of smoothie I could really enjoy drinking every morning!
For a coffee addict like me, this is a perfect recipe for the warm winter months. I didn’t know about the Folgers Flavors, thank you so much for sharing them. My grocery list just got another item added to it!
This looks yummy! Though I dont drink coffee, Im sure I could replace it with something else of sorts!
I’m not usually a coffee drinker but I love coffee flavored things. This smoothie is right up my alley, a little bitter coffee with a lot of creamy deliciousness.
I can’t live without coffee and in the summer I love iced coffee! This will be perfect for the mornings!
This sounds really tasty – I had not thought about adding yogurt to an iced coffee drink, but it sounds great!
This is a fantastic idea for a smoothie. Saves lots of money and time to not have to go to the local coffee shop . I love Folger’s Coffee and I like your addition of Folgers Vanilla Latte. My oldest loves her cold coffee drinks. I am planning to make it for her.
I bet hat it tastes great. I love blended iced coffees.
This is something that I want to give a try.
