Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe frozen banana sliced
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder optional
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • A handful of ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Place all ingredients (frozen banana, milk, cocoa powder, protein powder, nut butter, vanilla, sweetener, and ice) into a high-speed blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Stop the blender, scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, and blend again for a few seconds.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass.
  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a few chocolate shavings, or a banana slice.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a frozen banana for a thick, milkshake-like texture—fresh bananas will make the smoothie too thin.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure your protein powder and chocolate chips are plant-based.
  • To make it a "chia pudding bowl," pour the smoothie over 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • For extra fiber, add 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or rolled oats before blending.
  • Adjust liquid amount depending on desired thickness—add more milk for a thinner consistency.
