Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Instructions
Peel the frozen banana and cut it into chunks to make blending easier.
In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, banana chunks, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract.
If you prefer an extra-thick shake, add the ice cubes to the blender.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed. Blend again briefly if you add additional ingredients.
Pour the shake into a tall glass and serve immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.
