You\u2019d never know it, though, thanks to the chocolatey goodness in every sip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s better are the endless ways to put your own spin on this banana chocolate smoothie. Add protein powder, peanut butter, yogurt, and so much more.

Peel the banana, place it in an airtight container, and freeze overnight before making the smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cocoa powder<\/strong> &#8211; A must for a rich and chocolatey smoothie. For a double chocolate smoothie, add a handful of chocolate chips or a scoop of my healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/two-ingredient-homemade-nutella-2\/\">homemade Nutella<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Milk<\/strong> &#8211; Any milk will do here, like regular cow\u2019s milk, almond milk, or coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maple syrup<\/strong> &#8211; A small drizzle of maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness. You can substitute this with a pitted date if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ice cubes<\/strong> &#8211; Blended ice cubes give the smoothie a slushy consistency that\u2019s super refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-instructions\">Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Place in a blender. <\/strong>Add all of the smoothie ingredients to a high-speed blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web.jpg\" alt=\"all smoothie ingredients added to a blender\" class=\"wp-image-119158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Blend. <\/strong>Blend the smoothie until it\u2019s creamy and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2.jpg\" alt=\"all smoothie ingredients blended together in a blender\" class=\"wp-image-119157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-2-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Serve. <\/strong>Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4.jpg\" alt=\"overview of a chocolate banana smoothie in a glass with a straw and cocoa powder sprinkled on top\" class=\"wp-image-119137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thealmondeater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/chocolate-banana-smoothie_web-4-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-and-faqs\">Tips and FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can <strong>make this smoothie with a fresh banana<\/strong> if you forgot to freeze it, but I\u2019d recommend adding at least another 2 to 3 ice cubes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Double or triple this recipe<\/strong> if you\u2019re serving a crowd or meal-prepping for the week! It\u2019s a great way to use up your ripe and spotty bananas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High-powered blenders are the way to go when blending smoothies<\/strong> because their powerful motors liquefy the bananas and ice in seconds.

To make it ahead of time, blend the smoothie as normal and pour it into ice cube trays. Freeze until solid, then transfer the cubes to an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. When it\u2019s time to eat, blend as many cubes as you need with a splash of milk, then enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage\">Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Refrigerator<\/strong>: The smoothie is best enjoyed as soon as it\u2019s blended because that\u2019s when it\u2019s the creamiest and most refreshing. If you do end up with leftovers, they can be stored in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for 1 or 2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Freezer<\/strong>: Freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays until solid, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month.
