Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Equipment: Blender, serving bowl, measuring cups, and spoons.
Servings: 1-2
Instructions:
1. In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen banana slices and the scoop of protein powder.
2. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the mix – remember, we're keeping it healthy with no added sugar!
3. Pour in the strong brewed coffee, ensuring it's cooled to prevent any protein powder from denaturing.
4. Add the unsweetened almond milk. Adjust the amount depending on your preferred smoothie thickness.
5. For an extra thick and frosty texture, toss in a handful of ice cubes.
6. Blend all the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, use a spatula (safely) to stir it around between blends.
7. When it reaches the perfect consistency, pour it into your favorite bowl.
8. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a few banana slices, or your choice of nuts and seeds for an extra crunch.
Cooking Tips:
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
- Customize your smoothie bowl with toppings like granola, coconut shavings, or a drizzle of peanut butter for added flavor and texture.
