When’s the last time you had a frozen chocolate-covered banana? I can vaguely remember getting them as a kid at Disney World. The following is my attempt at recreating one in the form of a healthy smoothie. Any milk will work, but I can’t imagine it getting any better than the almond-milk version. Of course, the recipe for that can be found here.
1 cup almond, coconut, soy, or rice milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 – 3 tbsp. agave nectar
2 heaping tbsp. almond butter
2 heaping tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 large or 1 1/2 medium banana, frozen
5 – 6 ice cubes
Place all ingredients in blender and run on high speed for 40 seconds or until perfectly smooth. (“Whole Juice” setting on a Blendtec)
I always try Chocolate-covered banana smoothie at shop, don’t try to make it at home. But thanks to your simple and also yummy recipe I can now make it at my home and can enjoy it’s yummy taste with my family.
Just got my Blendtec and this was the first recipe I tried. I substituted PURE/from the trees maple syrup for the agave nectar and used almond milk. As someone with a sweet tooth I have been searching for sweet goodness and this will become a treat I look forward to.
Thanks for the R&D,
Mark
