Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large frozen bananas peeled and sliced before freezing
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 2 tbsp creamy hazelnut butter 100% natural, no added sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder high quality Dutch-processed for better flavor
- 0.25 cup rolled oats provides a creamy texture and lasting energy
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances the chocolate aroma
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds optional for extra protein and omega-3s
- 1 pinch sea salt to balance the flavors
Notes
For a make-ahead option, portion the dry ingredients and bananas into freezer bags; just add milk and hazelnut butter when ready to blend. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though separation may occur—simply shake well before drinking. Swap almond milk for oat milk for an even creamier, nut-free liquid base.
