    Do you love indulging in chocolatey treats but also try to maintain a healthy lifestyle? Look no further than this delicious and nutritious Chocolate Banana Smoothie. This velvety blend of chocolate and banana satisfies your sweet tooth without dairy or refined sugar.

    Jumpstart your day with this guilt-free vegan breakfast option or enjoy it as a post-workout pick-me-up.

    Smoothies are great for busy mornings. I usually workout first thing when I wake up in a fasted state, and then have breakfast. This Chocolate Banana Smoothie is a great way to fill up, rehydrate and replenish my energy stores.

    If you want to add a little more protein, fiber, and Omega 3 fatty acids, toss in a tablespoon of flax seeds or chia seeds before blending.

    Can you use protein powder instead of cocoa powder?

    By the powers invested in me by the Internet I hereby grant you permission to make your smoothie how you want to make it!

    Protein powder will add more protein to the smoothie than cocoa powder. I know that's fairly obvious.

    I recommend that you choose a protein powder that does not have added sugar. And, if your protein is made with whey or casein they will not be dairy free. Chose what is right for you.

    Dairy Free or Not Smoothies

    This recipe uses almond milk and cocoa powder so there is no dairy. And it is also vegan. You can use any non-dairy milk you prefer.

    If you don't need it to be vegan, use cow's milk or a whey or casein protein powder if you prefer.
