Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup Silk CashewMilk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1 cup of Silk CashewMilk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and ice cubes if desired.
- Peel the ripe bananas and break them into smaller pieces. This will make it easier for your blender to combine the ingredients smoothly.
- In a blender, add the banana pieces, 1 cup of Silk CashewMilk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. If you prefer a chilled smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes at this stage.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Once blended, stop the blender and check the consistency. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can add a little more Silk CashewMilk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Pour the chocolate banana smoothie into two serving glasses. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a slice of banana on the rim of the glass for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nutritious Chocolate Banana Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your smoothie will be. Look for bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your taste preference, feel free to adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup. You can even skip it altogether if you prefer a less sweet smoothie!
- Chill It Down: For a refreshing twist, add ice cubes to the blender. This not only cools the smoothie but also gives it a thicker, creamier texture.
- Boost the Nutrition: Consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter for an extra protein boost.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your smoothie presentation by garnishing with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a slice of banana, or even a few nuts on top before serving.
