Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana frozen
- 1 cup blueberries frozen
- ½ cup almond milk or milk of choice
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 tbsp almond butter (unsweetened) or your favorite nut butter
- 1 cup yogurt dairy-free or regular yogurt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, stevia, or sweetener of choice
- 1 vanilla protein powder 1 serving
- kale or spinach (optional)
- ice cubes (optional) to adjust the smoothie's thickness
Instructions
- Peel the ripe banana and slice it into pieces. Place the banana slices in the freezer for at least an hour for an extra frosty and creamy smoothie. Frozen blueberries work best as well, but you can use fresh ones if needed.
- Combine the frozen banana, frozen blueberries, almond milk, cocoa powder, almond butter, yogurt, and maple syrup in a blender. If using additional greens, such as kale or spinach, add those next.
- Add the protein powder and blend everything together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness with your desired sweetener if needed, and add additional almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- For a thicker smoothie, you may add ice cubes to the blender during blending. This will also help keep your smoothie cold and refreshing.
