Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen bananas, peeled and chopped
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)

Superfood Boosters (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder

Toppings

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Sliced almonds
  • Coconut flakes
  • Cacao nibs
  • Crunchy granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Combine frozen bananas, protein powder, cocoa powder, nut butter, and milk in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve a velvety texture.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie base is too thick, gradually add more milk to reach a thick, spoonable consistency that holds toppings well without being runny.
  3. Transfer and Decorate: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Top creatively with sliced strawberries, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, granola, or your preferred toppings for added texture and nutrition.
  4. Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh to maintain the creamy base and crispy toppings. Use a spoon to savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Freeze fully ripe bananas peeled and chopped for the creamiest base.
  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder to avoid bitterness.
  • Add healthy fats like nut butters or avocado to improve texture and satiety.
  • Balance sweetness with natural sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup, or dates if desired.
  • Prepare and portion toppings ahead to make assembly easy and mess-free.
