Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, fresh mint leaves, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high 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, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana slices and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use fresh mint leaves for a bright mint flavor; adjust the amount to your taste or substitute with peppermint extract if fresh mint is unavailable.
