Description

A deliciously creamy and nutritious chocolate banana smoothie that’s perfect for kids. This quick and easy recipe is a fun way to get little ones to enjoy their fruit, packing natural sweetness and a rich chocolate flavor into a healthy drink. It’s an ideal choice for a quick breakfast, a satisfying snack, or a healthy dessert.


Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, preferably frozen

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or a non-dairy alternative like almond or soy milk)

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)

  • A handful of ice cubes (optional, if not using frozen bananas)


Instructions

  1. Place the bananas, milk, cocoa powder, and optional honey or Greek yogurt into a blender.

  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  3. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

  4. Pour into glasses and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Using frozen bananas will result in a thicker, creamier smoothie. If you only have fresh bananas, add a few ice cubes to achieve a similar consistency.

  • For a nutritional boost, you can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or a small handful of baby spinach. The taste of the spinach is easily masked by the chocolate and banana.

  • This recipe is flexible, so feel free to adjust the ingredients to your child’s liking.For a nuttier flavor, add a tablespoon of peanut or almond butter.
