Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and frozen into chunks
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut milk or almond milk, plus more to thin as necessary
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel the bananas and freeze them in chunks for at least a few hours or overnight to ensure the smoothie comes out creamy and cold.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the frozen bananas, cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, coconut or almond milk, and optional maple syrup into a large, high-powered blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Adjust Consistency and Flavor: Taste the smoothie and add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired, or add more maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using frozen bananas results in a creamier smoothie; freeze them at least several hours or overnight before blending.
- You can substitute peanut butter with any other nut butter of your choice.
- If using natural peanut butter that has oil separation, stir it well before measuring to ensure even consistency.
