Instructions

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

Tips

If you cannot find chocolate almond butter, use regular almond butter and add an extra 1 tsp of cocoa powder. For a creamier texture, substitute milk with almond milk or oat milk.
