What does summer mean to you? For most people, it means getting outside with those they love and partaking in fun activities like barbecues, pool parties, beaches, and—most importantly— frosty seasonal drinks that’ll help you cool off after your day of fun in the sun with friends and family.
To get your wind-down routine started, here’s a cold brew coffee smoothie recipe that puts a unique twist on the whole “sweet smoothie” idea. A sure-fire crowd pleaser, this drink will provide you with that delicious coffee taste while also packing a punch in terms of fruity and refreshing flavor. Make it for your friends, too; they’ll be just as pleased as you!
Cold Brew Cherry Blast Coffee Smoothie Recipe:
The first thing you’ll want to do is grab a bag of Madesco Code Blue Coffee, our specialty roasted and artisan ground beans that offer an optimal cold brew coffee and will take your coffee smoothie to the next level. It’s designed to brew coffee in cool, fresh water and is a perfect choice for any coffee smoothie drink you’ll make this summer.
Make sure you pair it with Madesco’s cold brew coffee filters, which are reusable (for environmentally friendly results!), conveniently sized for easy travel, and also made especially for cold brew. Their tough and durable pouches serve to trap the grounds and preserve coffee oils, so the cold brew is never bitter. Paired together, you’re bound to get a robust and flavor-packed experience!
Once you’ve got this handy cold brew team at your fingertips, you’ll be ready to get started on making your refreshing and summery cherry coffee smoothie. This unusual fusion of sweet and savory will tickle your taste buds and load your body up with an extra dose of antioxidants (thank you, Mr. Cherry!) Make sure you have the following ingredients:
Preparation: 1 minute
Servings: 1

- Pour into a mason jar and top with straw, little umbrella, or extra cherry on top.

Kick Back and Relax with Coffee and Friends
Summer isn’t just a time to experiment with new bathing suits or travel destinations (that trip to Rome? No problem!). It’s also a time to recharge with those you love, and there’s no better way to do that than by tasting new coffee smoothies at the pool or on a picnic. So introduce the Cherry Blast to your kitchen this summer. You’ll be glad you did.
