Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana the spottier, the better!
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice
- 1 scoop of almond butter for added creaminess
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt optional for extra creaminess and protein
- A handful of ice cubes
- A pinch of salt trust me on this one
Instructions
- Peel and break your banana into chunks. Pro tip: Frozen bananas make a creamy smoothie, perfect for a protein shake!
- Toss all your ingredients into the blender. Yes, all of them – we're not shy here!
- To make a perfect protein shake, blend on high for 30-45 seconds or until smooth. If your blender needs encouragement, pause and scrape down the sides, then blend again until it tastes deliciously chocolaty.
- Give it a taste test (the best part of the job, if you ask me). Need it sweeter? Add a touch more honey. Too thick? Splash in some more milk.
- Fill into your favorite glass and get ready for a taste explosion!
