Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas The sweeter they are, the less added honey you’ll need; overripe bananas give the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter Creamy styles blend most smoothly; natural or processed both work.
  • 1.5 cups milk Dairy or plant-based; almond milk is recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder Use unsweetened for control over sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon honey Optional, only if bananas aren’t very ripe; can use maple syrup for vegan diets.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Heightens the chocolate and peanut flavors.
  • 1/2 cup ice Adjust for thickness; can substitute with frozen banana chunks.
Garnishes
  • to taste chocolate chips Optional garnishes for texture and presentation.
  • to taste banana slices Optional garnishes for texture and presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Break the bananas into chunks and put them into the blender.
  2. Add peanut butter, milk, and cocoa powder.
  3. If the bananas aren’t super ripe, add honey now; otherwise skip.
  4. Pour in vanilla extract and ice (or frozen banana pieces).
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30–60 seconds.
  6. Taste and adjust more milk to thin, cocoa for chocolate intensity, or honey for sweetness.
  7. Pour into glasses and top with banana slices and chocolate chips.
