1 frozen banana-diced
1 1/2 cups of vanilla coconut milk
1/2 tsp of unsweetened cocoa
pinch of cinnamon
*Peel and dice banana-it's very cold so move quickly or peel before freezing:)
*Blend and Enjoy!
This is a super easy smoothie that I have been making for breakfast lately. I had a few bananas in the freezer that I was saving to make banana bread because that is all I thought I knew to do with an overripe banana. But now I can use those bananas in a healthier way! This smoothie is rich in potassium from the bananas, calcium from the coconut milk, and magnesium from the cocoa, three minerals that strengthen brain function, reduce anxiety and fatigue. I switched the original recipe from soy to coconut milk and I excluded ice, because I prefer my smoothie to be thicker. But go ahead and add the ice if you like, as well as any other fruit that needs to be used up. I always like to have a freezer full of different varieties of fruits. Also, play around with different spices, like cardamon or nutmeg.
