Ingredients
2 frozen bananas
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 scoop protein powder
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh berries
1/4 cup granola
Instructions
Add the frozen bananas, cocoa powder, protein powder, rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, milk, and peanut butter to a blender.
Blend until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
If the smoothie bowl is too thick, add a small splash of milk and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the smoothie mixture and add honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired.
Pour the smoothie into a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spoon.
Top with fresh berries, granola, and dark chocolate chips before serving immediately.
Notes
Frozen bananas help create a thick and creamy texture.
Chocolate or vanilla protein powder both work well in this recipe.
Spinach can be added for extra nutrients without strongly affecting the chocolate flavor.
Almond butter can replace peanut butter for a nuttier variation.
Top with coconut flakes, sliced bananas, or nuts for additional texture.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and stir before serving.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk.
