Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk alternative)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your taste)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Banana: Start by peeling the ripe banana and breaking it into smaller chunks. This will make blending easier and more effective.

    Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the banana chunks, almond milk, cocoa powder, mini chocolate chips, fresh mint leaves, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Make sure the mint leaves are finely blended, so there are no visible chunks remaining.

        Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Take a moment to taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed. If you prefer an even more minty flavor, feel free to add a few extra mint leaves.

          Serve: Carefully pour the silky smoothie into a tall glass.

            Garnish (Optional): For an enticing touch, sprinkle a few extra mini chocolate chips on top and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. This adds a delightful pop of color and a fresh aroma.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately, relishing the refreshing combination of mint and decadent chocolate flavors!
