The combination of banana and cocoa powder adds a delightful flavor, making it a perfect post-workout treat or a quick and healthy breakfast.
Instructions:
Gather all the ingredients and place them within easy reach to streamline the smoothie-making process.
Take 1/2 of a ripe banana, peeling it, and breaking it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, add the following ingredients in this order to ensure smooth blending:
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- 1 tbsp of dry cocoa powder
- 1.67 scoops of whey protein powder (approximately 50g)
- The chunks of 1/2 banana
- 1 tbsp of almond butter
Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on a high-speed setting. Blend for about 30-45 seconds or until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the smoothie is smooth in texture.
Pause the blender and check the consistency of the smoothie. If it's too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more coconut milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Pour the smoothie into a large glass. For an extra touch, you can top it with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a few slices of banana.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Banana Coconut Protein Smoothie immediately while it's fresh and cool.
Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, freeze the banana slices before blending.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of stevia.
- To make it a meal replacement, consider adding a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds for added fiber and nutrients.
- Ensure the almond butter is well-mixed before adding it to the blender to avoid clumping.
- Experiment with different flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract.
