Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 1 Frozen Banana
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
- 2 Medjool Dates
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- 3 Ice Cubes
Instructions
Pit the Medjool dates to ensure there are no seeds present.
Add the almond milk to a high-speed blender.
Peel and break the frozen banana into chunks and add it to the blender.
Add the cocoa powder, pitted Medjool dates, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and ice cubes into the blender.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure even blending.
Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it's too thick, add a bit more almond milk; if it's too thin, feel free to add extra ice or a piece of frozen banana.
Once the desired consistency is reached, pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.
