Ingredients
  

  • For the Smoothie Base
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or coconut)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional, for additional sweetness)
  • For the Toppings
  • Sliced banana
  • Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • Granola
  • Cacao nibs
  • Drizzle of peanut butter
  • Chia seeds or hemp seeds
  • Coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Peel and freeze the bananas at least a few hours in advance to ensure a creamy, thick texture.
  • Add frozen bananas, cacao powder, peanut butter, chia seeds, vanilla extract, plant-based milk, and optional maple syrup to a blender.
  • Blend on high speed, scraping down the sides if necessary, until the mixture becomes smooth and thick like soft-serve.
  • Adjust consistency: add a splash more milk for a thinner smoothie or a few extra frozen banana slices for a thicker bowl.
  • Pour the smoothie mixture into two bowls.
  • Add your choice of toppings: sliced fruit, granola, cacao nibs, extra peanut butter, or seeds.
  • Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
