With just three ingredients, this chocolate banana smoothie is healthy and delicious!
Without fail, you can usually find me drinking this chocolate banana smoothie several times a week.
It takes only three ingredients to make, and it tastes just like a chocolate milkshake! What's not to love?
Tips for Making This Smoothie
Here are a few tips to get a perfect smoothie every time:
- Freeze bananas ahead of time. Once I have ripe bananas, I like to cut them into chunks and store them in the freezer. By using frozen bananas, you don't have to use any ice in the smoothie. I love to always have bananas in my freezer so that I can make a smoothie whenever the craving hits.
- Use whatever milk you prefer. I personally love to make this smoothie with almond milk or oat milk, but you can use whatever milk you prefer. Try out a few different options and see what you like best!
- Add in honey or maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie if desired. I think the bananas add enough sweetness by themselves, but you can absolutely add in a sweetener like honey or maple syrup to enhance the flavor of the smoothie.
