Instructions

1

Prepare Frozen Bananas

Ensure your bananas were frozen when very ripe with brown spots for maximum sweetness. Break the frozen bananas into chunks before adding them to make blending easier on the motor.

2

Add All Ingredients

Pour the chocolate milk into the blender first then add the frozen banana chunks, cocoa powder, vanilla yogurt, almond butter, and honey in that order for the smoothest blend.

3

Blend Until Creamy and Smooth

Blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until the smoothie is a deep chocolate brown color and has a thick creamy consistency similar to a milkshake. Scrape sides if needed.

Serve and Enjoy

Pour into two glasses and serve right away. A few mini chocolate chips or a tiny pinch of cocoa powder dusted on top makes this kid friendly smoothie look extra fancy and exciting.

Substitutions

almond buttersunflower seed butter for a nut free version that is safe for school snacks
chocolate milkregular whole milk plus an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder and a small drizzle of maple syrup

Common mistakes

Forgetting to freeze the bananas ahead of time which means the smoothie will be thin and watery instead of the thick milkshake consistency that makes kids love it
Using Dutch process cocoa instead of natural unsweetened cocoa powder which can interact poorly with other ingredients and create an off flavor
