Ingredients
- 1 large frozen banana
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions

LAYER THE BLENDER: Add ingredients in this order for the smoothest blend: almond milk first (liquid at the bottom helps everything blend), then Greek yogurt, honey, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. Add the frozen banana last, broken into 3-4 chunks. This order prevents the peanut butter from sticking to the blades.

BLEND UNTIL SMOOTH: Start on low speed to break up the frozen banana, then increase to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy with no chunks. The smoothie should be thick like a milkshake. If your blender struggles, stop, use a tamper or spatula to push ingredients down, and blend again. For a thinner consistency, add more almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time.

SERVE: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately while cold and thick. For extra indulgence, drizzle a thin ribbon of peanut butter on top or add a few chocolate chips. This smoothie is filling enough to be a complete breakfast thanks to the protein from Greek yogurt and peanut butter.
