Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond or oat milk)

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup ice (optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie)

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients:
    Peel the banana and break it into chunks. Measure out the peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, yogurt, and any other add-ins.

  • Blend the smoothie:
    In a blender, combine the banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, yogurt (if using), honey or maple syrup (if desired), and vanilla extract. Add the ice if you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie.

  • Blend until smooth:
    Blend on high until everything is fully combined and the smoothie is creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to reach your desired consistency.

  • Taste and adjust:
    Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener or cocoa powder if needed, then blend again to incorporate.

  • Serve:
    Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately! Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a few banana slices for extra flair.

Notes

  • Protein Boost: Add protein powder, hemp seeds, or chia seeds for an extra protein boost.

  • Chocolate Chips: Blend in dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a crunchy texture.

  • Vegan Option: Use plant-based yogurt and dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk for a vegan smoothie.

  • Frozen Bananas: For a thicker, colder texture, use frozen bananas.
