• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Prepare 1 cup of brewed coffee and allow it to cool completely. You can brew the coffee ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Peel a large banana, slice it into chunks, and freeze it for at least 2 hours or overnight for a creamy smoothie texture.

In a blender, combine chilled coffee, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, milk, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add 4 ice cubes to the blender for additional chill and thickness.

Step 6

Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses and enjoy immediately.
