Ingredients
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 whole frozen bananas
0.5 cup old-fashioned oats
0.5 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Gather the blender container and measure all listed ingredients.
Slice frozen bananas into smaller chunks for easier blending.
Pour the almond milk into the blender first.
Add the oats, banana chunks, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
Secure the lid and pulse three times to break up the frozen bananas.
Increase to high speed and blend for sixty seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Notes
Use oat milk instead of almond milk for an even creamier texture. You can adjust the thickness by adding more oats for a heartier drink or extra almond milk for a thinner consistency. Ensure your bananas are fully ripe before freezing for the best natural sweetness.
