Report
This Paleo Dark Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie is thick, creamy, and so easy! This healthy chocolate smoothie tastes just like chocolate soft serve ice cream. It is made with healthy ingredients but tastes like a decadent dessert!

Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 1 large handful spinach about 1 cup unpacked
- 2 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- protein powder optional
Instructions
- First, add all ingredients to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth, about 15 to 20 seconds.
- Finally, pour into a cup and enjoy!¼
Notes
- Sliced frozen banana will blend more easily than a full frozen banana.
- I use homemade almond milk, but any milk will work. Canned coconut milk will make this smoothie VERY thick.
- Use up to 1 cup of milk for a thinner smoothie.
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, use no more than 1/4 cup. Frozen spinach is much more dense than loose leaf spinach.
- Protein powder is optional. I like Nuzest for a plant based option and Ancient Nutrition Collagen.
- I always use Hershey's Dark Cocoa Powder but any cocoa powder will work.
- This recipe makes one large smoothie.
- The nutrition facts do not include protein powder.
