2 Tbsp cacao powder (or cocoa powder)

Instructions

To a high-speed blender or food processor, add frozen ripe banana, cacao powder, and dandy blend (or espresso powder or strong-brewed coffee), and blend on high until creamy and smooth. If using a Vitamix, it’s important to first turn on your blender using the “variable” setting on medium speed, then quickly flip to high speed and use the tamper to blend. If the motor is starting to overheat, turn off and let it rest for a minute or two, then proceed. If using a food processor, you should be able to blend on high and scrape down sides as needed.
If it has trouble blending, add a bit of dairy-free milk to encourage blending. Just be careful not to add too much or it can become runny.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more cocoa or cacao powder for chocolate flavor, or coffee powder / espresso of choice for more intense coffee flavor.
Optional: Top with cacao nibs for a little crunch or sliced banana for more texture. Enjoy immediately. Freeze leftovers in ice cube or popsicle molds for best results (will last in the freezer up to 1 month, though best when enjoyed fresh).

Notes

*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with the lesser amount of dandy blend and without optional ingredients.*Dandy Blend claims its product is gluten-free, but if you are celiac, it may be worth avoiding out of caution as it does have barley and rye derivatives.
