Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1 large frozen banana, sliced
  • 1 scoop your favorite protein powder
  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup, or to taste

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk of choice (I used soy)
  • ice, as needed, to thicken

Instructions
 

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate for 30 seconds. Stir until melted. Let cool while you make the smoothie.
  • In the bowl of a high-speed blender, combine all ingredients, including 1/2-1 cup of ice if needed. Blend until creamy and smooth.
  • Drizzle a glass with the melted chocolate, then pour in the shake. Top with chopped chocolate, grab a straw, and slurp away!

Notes

*To make vegan: Use a vegan protein powder (I love Vega) and a plant-based milk.
