Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 scoop dark chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 scoop of dark chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and a handful of ice cubes.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend.
- In a blender, combine the banana pieces, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 scoop of dark chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will help create a chilled and refreshing smoothie.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Choose a ripe banana for maximum natural sweetness and smooth texture
- Use high-quality dark chocolate protein powder for the richest flavor
- For an extra cold smoothie, freeze your banana beforehand
- Adjust the sea salt carefully - it should enhance, not overpower the chocolate
- If you want a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk or add a few extra ice cubes
- Blend on high speed to ensure a completely smooth and creamy consistency
- Serve immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits
- Optional garnish: sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top or add a few dark chocolate shavings
