Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 small bananas Frozen bananas
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Frozen strawberries
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Milk (your choice: dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness)
- Fresh strawberries or chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the frozen bananas into chunks for easier blending.
Prepare and blend the chocolate layer: In a blender, combine 1 frozen banana, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 0.5 cups of Greek yogurt, and 1/3 cup of milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a small amount of maple syrup or honey if you prefer it sweeter. Pour the mixture into a glass, filling it about one-third of the way. Place the glass in the freezer while preparing the next layer.
Rinse the blender and prepare the strawberry layer: Combine 1.5 cups of frozen strawberries, 1 frozen banana, 0.5 cups of Greek yogurt, and 1/3 cup of milk. Blend until smooth and vibrant. Taste and adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey if desired. Carefully pour this layer over the chocolate layer in the glass. Return the glasses to the freezer.
Finally, make the vanilla layer: In a clean blender, combine 1 frozen banana, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.5 cups of Greek yogurt, and 1/3 cup of milk. Blend until creamy and smooth. Sweeten with a touch of maple syrup or honey if needed. Pour this final layer over the strawberry layer in the glass.
Garnish with fresh strawberries or chocolate shavings, if desired, and serve immediately. Use a spoon or straw to enjoy the layered flavors, or mix it all together for a Neapolitan-inspired smoothie blend.
