# Components:
→ Smoothie Base
01 - 2 medium frozen bananas, sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
04 - 1 scoop (approximately 30 grams) chocolate or vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
05 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Toppings
08 - 2 tablespoons granola (gluten-free if necessary)
09 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
10 - 2 teaspoons cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings
11 - 2 tablespoons fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries)
12 - 1 tablespoon peanut butter, drizzled
13 - Sliced banana (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Place the frozen banana slices, unsweetened cocoa powder, natural peanut butter, protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract into a robust blender.
02 - Process the ingredients until a thick and creamy texture is achieved, pausing to scrape down the blender sides as needed. If the mixture is too difficult to blend, add a small amount of additional milk, ensuring the final consistency remains thick.
03 - Evenly divide the prepared smoothie base into two serving bowls.
04 - Artfully arrange granola, chia seeds, cacao nibs or chocolate shavings, fresh berries, a swirl of peanut butter, and optional banana slices atop each smoothie bowl. Serve immediately.
