Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 medium ripe banana, frozen
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Peel and slice a ripe banana, then freeze it ahead of time for a creamier smoothie texture.
In a blender, combine the frozen banana, fat-free milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if desired).
Add the ice cubes to the blender to make the smoothie cold and frothy.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a small amount of additional fat-free milk and blend again.
Once fully blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if needed.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a banana slice for presentation.
