Banana Foster Functional Coffee: Your New Morning Ritual 🍌☕️
save this post — it’s the kind of recipe you’ll want on repeat
Lately I’ve been craving something new in the mornings. Something energizing, supportive of my fitness goals, and honestly just fun to make. With the warmer weather, I’ve been leaning into cold drinks that still feel nourishing. This banana foster coffee checks every box and would you believe it came together with what I had on hand at the time!
It’s rich, naturally sweet, gut friendly, and gives you that cozy “treat yourself” feeling while still supporting your goals.
From my Virgo kitchen to yours, consider this your sign to play with your morning coffee.
And now it’s officially a favorite in The Bloom Collective kitchen.
Why You'll Love It (in 10 seconds or less)
💛 blood sugar balance
💪 supports fitness goals
🌱 gut friendly ingredients
☕ energy without the crash
🍌 naturally sweet with no refined sugar
Why I Love It
This isn’t your average iced coffee. It’s rich from the banana and oat milk, subtly sweet thanks to manuka honey and maple extract, and it comes with a hint of cinnamon warmth. The banana also adds a boost of natural fiber to help support digestion and blood sugar balance. The espresso gives it that much needed lift without any crash. Plus, you can easily add collagen, protein, or creatine depending on what your body needs that day.
It’s customizable, energizing, and aligned with your wellness goals. It’s a total vibe! ✨

Bloom Collective Twist 💫
What I love most about sharing recipes like this is watching how you guys make them in your own kitchen! The Bloom Collective community always brings the most creative, thoughtful twists. From adding maca or cinnamon swirl protein powder, to using hemp milk, topping it with coconut whip, or even turning it into a smoothie bowl (love this idea).
That’s the beauty of functional drinks like this. They’re intuitive. You can listen to your body and let it guide you. Some days you might crave sweetness. Other days you want something lighter, more energizing, or protein packed post workout. There’s no right way to make it and that’s what makes it fun.
If you try it, tag me @vibrationalbloom or use #TheBloomCollective so we can see your spin.
I’ll be sharing some of our favorites on our stories. This space is better when it’s collaborative and I love celebrating the creativity that flows through this community.
Tried it already? Drop your favorite twist or add in below. I’d love to hear how it turned out and how it made you feel.
Let’s keep co-creating things that feel nourishing, playful, and aligned 💛
Here’s to more drinks that taste like comfort and act like care.
From my Virgo kitchen to yours.
If this kind of grounded, feel-good nourishment speaks to you, it’s also how I approach energy work. Whether it’s a session in the Akashic Records, Reiki, or a clarity call, I help people reconnect to their intuition, release stuck energy, and feel more at home in their body and life.

FAQ
Can I make this banana foster coffee without espresso?
Yes. You can skip the espresso and just use cold brew, or try a caffeine free swap like dandelion root tea or roasted chicory.
Can I use frozen banana instead?
Absolutely. It will make the drink a little thicker and colder, kind of like a coffee milkshake.
Is this actually supportive for blood sugar?
Yes. It’s made with whole foods, natural sweetness from banana and honey, plus fiber and optional protein or collagen. No refined sugar.
Can I add adaptogens or extras?
Go for it. Ashwagandha, maca, or a scoop of cinnamon swirl protein powder would all be great.
