Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 2 cups milk or plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1-2 tbsp honey or sweetener of choice
  • 1 banana fresh or frozen
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Ice cubes optional, adjust for thickness
Toppings (Optional)
  • 1 dollop Whipped cream
  • 1 tbsp Chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. Peel the banana. If using frozen banana (recommended for creamier texture), break it into chunks.
  2. Add milk, cocoa powder, honey, banana, and vanilla extract into a blender.
  3. Add ice cubes if you are using a fresh banana or prefer a slushier consistency.
  4. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream and chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, use almond or oat milk and maple syrup instead of honey. Add a scoop of protein powder to make it a post-workout meal.
