Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana, frozen
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granola (for topping)
- Fresh fruits for topping (e.g., sliced bananas, berries, or kiwi)
- Extra shredded coconut for garnish
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Its always easier to have everything ready before you begin blending.
- Take the frozen banana out of the freezer. If you havent frozen it yet, peel and slice a ripe banana, then place it in a zip-lock bag and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- In a blender, add the frozen banana, almond milk, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
- Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the smoothie base and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more honey or maple syrup and blend again.
- Once your smoothie base is ready, pour it into a bowl.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of granola over the top.
- Arrange your fresh fruits on top, such as sliced bananas, berries, and kiwi.
- Sprinkle some extra shredded coconut over the fruits for added flavor.
- Add some dark chocolate shavings on top if desired.
- Finish it off with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Serve your chocolate coconut smoothie bowl immediately for the best flavor and texture.
- Pair it with a cup of herbal tea or a refreshing glass of water infused with lemon for a complete breakfast or snack.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; stir before serving.
