Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup banana (frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Protein Powder (optional or dried milk powder)
  • Optional add-ins: handful baby spinach, raw cauliflower, or avocado; 1-2 teaspoons peanut or almond butter; 1-2 teaspoons hemp seeds

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender.
  • Blend until very creamy, starting on low and working up to high.
  • Serve immediately or store for future use.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 36 hours. Serve cold. You can also freeze in an ice cube tray and blend with additional milk for a future smoothie if desired.
  • Use whole dairy milk or a plant milk with fat and protein in it (like soy milk, Ripple Milk, or Good Karma protein milk).
  • Sweeten to taste after blending.
  • Swap in mango for the banana if desired.
  • Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for additional protein.
  • Try my homemade Protein Powder or one of my favorite Protein Powders for Kids.
