When the weather's warm, a cold blender drink makes the perfect breakfast. This quick smoothie brings it all together with sweet banana, nutty hazelnuts, and a jolt of chilled coffee.

Note: When your bananas are starting to get too ripe, peel them and stash them in the freezer for this drink, and they won't have to go to waste. The coffee can also be prepared in advance and held in the refrigerator overnight, or brewed directly onto ice.
