Ingredients
- 1 cup banana frozen
- 1 cup milk plant based or dairy
- ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup quick oats
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the ingredients: frozen banana, milk, yogurt, cocoa powder, almond butter, vanilla extract and quick oats.
- Blend and pulse until completely smooth.
- If you like, use chocolate syrup to garnish the inside of the glass. It’s not necessary at all, but fun and fancy! Use a piece of fruit you have on hand to garnish the top of the glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Using frozen bananas makes it unnecessary to include ice.
- Unsweetened almond milk is my top choice for a smoothie.
- Anytime you want to add sweetness to a smoothie, add honey.
