Ingredients
– 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
– 2 medium ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
– ¼ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
– 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
– 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
– 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions

4. Spoon in 2 tablespoons of creamy almond butter for a rich, nutty depth.
5. Pour 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup into the blender to balance the bitterness of the cocoa.
6. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie.
7. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, with no visible chunks.
8. For an extra-silky texture, blend for an additional 15 seconds after the initial mix to fully incorporate all ingredients.
9. Immediately pour the smoothie into two chilled glasses to maintain its cool, refreshing quality.
Yield a velvety, thick consistency that coats the glass with deep chocolate notes, subtly sweetened by banana and maple. The almond butter lends a creamy richness that makes this smoothie feel indulgent yet balanced—serve it garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few almond slices for an elegant touch.
