This 5-ingredient chocolate almond banana smoothie is rich, deliciously creamy and perfectly healthy. It makes a great breakfast or pick-me-up drink in the afternoon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, fresh or frozen*
  • 1 teaspoon honey, agave or maple syrup (optional)**
  • 4 Tablespoons almond butter
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)***

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a high powered blender.
  2. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Add a bit more almond milk if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

* You can use either fresh or frozen bananas. The latter typically make thicker and creamier smoothies but both options will have same results in terms of flavor.

** You can sweeten the smoothie to your liking or not use any sweetener at all, in particular if you use very ripe bananas that are already very sweetened. For a vegan option, consider agave syrup or maple syrup. For a non vegan version, honey is fine.

*** Any milk will do, but for a vegan or non-dairy option, you can consider unsweetened almond milk or oat milk. Both will yield a thick, rich and creamy smoothie.

Note: This recipe makes 2 smoothies. You can prep in advance and/or store the leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container with a lid.
