Ingredients: 1 ripe banana. 1 cup almond milk. 1 tablespoon chia seeds. 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Ice cubes optional.
Instructions: Cut the ripe banana into slices. Add the chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup if you want, sliced banana, and vanilla extract to a blender. You can also add a few ice cubes at this point if you want your smoothie to be colder and fuller. Mix everything together until it's smooth and creamy. Please make sure that the chia seeds are well mixed in. If the smoothie is too sweet, add more honey or maple syrup to make it less sweet. Put the Banana Chocolate Chia Smoothie into a glass. If you want, add some banana slices or cocoa powder on top, and serve right away.
