Instructions
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.
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.
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.
