04 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

05 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

07 - 1/2 cup ice cubes

01 - Add the banana, milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and sweetener (if using) to a blender container.

02 - Add vanilla extract and ice cubes, if desired, for extra creaminess and chill.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with additional honey or maple syrup if needed.

05 - Pour evenly into two glasses and serve right away for optimal texture and flavor.

01 -

It tastes like a melted chocolate peanut butter cup but happens to be packed with potassium and protein
The whole thing comes together in literally five minutes with zero cooking

02 -

A frozen banana completely transforms the texture into something resembling soft-serve ice cream
The cocoa powder needs at least 45 seconds of blending or you will get gritty little chocolate flecks

03 -

Let the blender run an extra 15 seconds after it looks done to eliminate any remaining powder clumps
If your blender struggles, add the milk first then everything else on top
