Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Frozen banana
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 pieces Medjool dates
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the frozen banana into smaller chunks for easier blending if needed.
Pit the Medjool dates and ensure there are no seeds left.
In a blender, combine unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, cocoa powder, Medjool dates, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender, if necessary, to ensure all ingredients are evenly blended.
Taste the milkshake and adjust sweetness if desired by adding another date or a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional). Blend again briefly if adding sweetness.
Pour the milkshake into two glasses, evenly dividing the mixture.
Optionally, garnish with dark chocolate shavings on top before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy chocolate milkshake!
