Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 scoop chocolate whey or plant-based protein powder approx 30g
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk chilled
- 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut plus extra for garnish
- 1 tbsp creamy almond butter no added sugar
- 0.5 tsp coconut extract for intense flavor
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips 70% cocoa or higher
- 1 cup ice cubes large cubes for thicker texture
- 0.5 frozen banana banana optional for creaminess
Notes
For a thicker, milkshake-like consistency, use less almond milk or add more ice. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 2 hours. If using a sweetened protein powder, you may omit the banana to keep the sugar content low.
