Chocolate Banana Smoothie
Servings: 1
Thick as a milkshake, my chocolate banana smoothie blends frozen banana, cacao powder, almond butter, vanilla and almond milk. Toss in a little frozen cauliflower for extra creaminess, nobody will notice.
Ingredients
- 1 banana frozen
- ¼ cup frozen cauliflower florets optional
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 2 tablespoon cacao powder
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into a blender. Add the banana and cauliflower, if using, and blend on high until smooth.
- Add the cacao powder, almond butter and vanilla and blend again until smooth, adding a splash more liquid if it's too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Milk Swaps: Swap the almond milk for the non-dairy milk of your choice.
- Cauliflower Tip: Frozen cauliflower makes the smoothie thicker and creamier without changing the flavor, but you can leave it out.
- Greens Boost: For a green version, blend in 1/2 cup spinach with the banana.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
