Healthy-ish Chocolate Banana Smoothie
Servings: 1 smoothie
This chocolate banana smoothie is based on a classic ice cream flavor. Yet I've upgraded this smoothie for maximum flavor and nutrients. It's like drinking a dessert! Almond milks adds a boost of protein while cacao powder adds in powerful antioxidants.
