Ingredients
1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 scoop collagen peptides (about 10g)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
1. Add the almond milk to your blender to help everything blend smoothly.
2. Add the banana, cocoa powder, collagen peptides, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using.
3. Top with ice cubes if you want a thicker, frostier smoothie.
4. Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth.
5. Taste and adjust: add more cocoa or maple syrup as needed.
6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a frozen banana for a creamier texture and natural chill—no ice needed.
Add a tablespoon of nut butter or chia seeds for a protein and fiber boost.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours, or freeze into smoothie cubes for later blending.
