Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large frozen bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk (almond or soy recommended)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop vegan chocolate protein powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the frozen banana slices, plant milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, optional protein powder, and vanilla extract into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Start blending on low speed, using the tamper tool constantly to push the ingredients down toward the blades.
- Add only small amounts of extra liquid (one teaspoon at a time) if the mixture refuses to blend. The goal is to keep it very thick.
- Blend until completely smooth and the mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream.
- Spoon the thick mixture immediately into a bowl.
- Add your desired toppings and serve right away.
Notes
- For the thickest bowl, use only frozen bananas and minimal liquid. If your blender struggles, let the bananas thaw for five minutes before blending.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach for hidden greens; the chocolate flavor masks the taste.
- If you want a higher protein option, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds to the blender.
