Tips for Making This Chocolate Banana 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. 

Helpful Tools for This Chocolate Banana Smoothie

To make this smoothie, there are a few tools I recommend picking up:

• Blender* — If you’re looking for a budget-friendly blender, this one is great. I have used my NutriBullet for two years now, and it’s great for making personal-sized smoothies. 
• Mason jar cups* — Okay, these are not necessarily *essential* but they are pretty fun. Plus, these have lids so you can easily take your smoothie on the go!
