Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, honey or maple syrup, and fine sea salt, then add the vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes. Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high speed and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk. If too thin, blend in a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana slices.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

For a vegan option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use maple syrup instead of honey. To enhance malt flavor, lightly toast the malted milk powder before blending.
