However, that didn’t work out so well. Turns out, no matter how much melted dark chocolate I pour over avocados, it still kinda tastes like chocolate avocado. Back to the drawing board. New idea: Banana Split Chocolate Smoothie! Good news: Smashing success. So delicious, in fact, that it was destined for the blog (I mean, look at that glam shot). Hubba. This smoothie is such a simple concept but delivers big on flavor and decadence. It starts with frozen bananas blended with cacao powder and almond butter. Next comes a couple of dates for sweetness, almond milk, and vanilla extract. The result is a rich, chocolaty, banana-infused shake that’s insanely delicious. Plus, just 9 ingredients, 1 blender, and 10 minutes required. Let’s serve this baby up and get to snacking, shall we? How is this a banana split smoothie, you ask? For starters, it has three bananas! Two in the smoothie and one for serving. Get it? Banana split in the glass? You guys are smart. For toppings, I went with plenty of coconut whipped cream, shredded coconut, cacao nibs (a must!), and a cherry. I think you’re going to LOVE this smoothie! It’s: DecadentRichCreamySuper chocolatyNaturally sweetAntioxidant-rich& So delicious This would make a perfectly suitable breakfast if you prefer sweeter smoothies, but I see it as more of a dessert! The coconut whip, shredded coconut, and cacao nibs send it over the top (highly recommended)! If you give this recipe a try, let us know!
