What is Cold Brew Coffee?
Cold-brew is really as simple as mixing coarse ground coffee with cool water and steeping the mixture in the fridge overnight or leave in a dark area for approximately 20 hours.
The next day you strain the mixture, leaving you with a concentrate (it’s strong, so you’ll want to dilute it) that can be served right away or stored for up to two weeks. It takes about 1 ounce of coffee to 1 cup of water.
The coffee grounds are then filtered out and your coffee is sediment free.
Beyond the fact that this method makes for a longer-lasting brew that can be prepared in big batches, cold brew coffee also tastes downright incredible. The cold steeping process makes a smooth, mellow cup of coffee that has very little acidity or bitterness.
When you brew your coffee this way, you’re going to get a very smooth flavor that is full bodied and very robust, but without the acidity that sometimes wreaks havoc on a sensitive stomach.
If you want to skip this process, you can buy cold brew in the refrigerated section at your favorite market.

Best Blenders to Make Smoothies
When making smoothies, the best consistency is achieved when using a high-powered blender. I use a Ninja Smoothie Maker. You can also use a Vitamix. This will blend the frozen fruit the best, and not leave chunks of fruit or ice. I prefer to use a mix of fresh and frozen fruit without ice.
The variety of smoothie combinations is endless, so whether you’re looking for something to start the day off right or a post-workout snack that packs in protein, superfoods, and nutrients, we’ve got you covered.
From banana and avocado to raw cacao powder and chia seeds, there’s no shortage of flavorful options! We hope this recipe has served as inspiration for creating your own cold brew smoothies at home – now go get blending!
