Ingredients
  

1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced, then frozen

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)

A pinch of sea salt

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Banana: If you haven’t already done so, peel and slice the ripe banana into rounds and freeze those slices for at least a few hours or overnight. Freezing the banana is key for achieving a ultra-creamy smoothie texture.

    Combine Ingredients in Blender: In a high-powered blender, add the frozen banana slices, cocoa powder, creamy peanut butter, almond milk, honey (if using), vanilla extract, Greek yogurt (if using), and a pinch of sea salt.

      Blend the Mixture: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and velvety. If the smoothie is thicker than you prefer, pour in a little extra almond milk and blend again. Alternatively, for a denser smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend until you reach your desired consistency.

        Taste and Adjust Flavor: Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you would like it sweeter, add more honey or maple syrup and blend briefly to incorporate the sweetener throughout.

          Serve the Smoothie: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses or mason jars for a refreshing presentation. For a decorative touch, you can top it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a few banana slices.

            Savor and Enjoy: Grab a straw or a spoon, and indulge in your delicious and nutritious Choco-Banana Bliss Smoothie!
