Chocolate Banana Smoothie with Cayenne
A Chocolate Banana Smoothie is a no brainer, but add a kick of heat and spice with cayenne pepper and your smoothie is gonna be on fire! Rich and creamy chocolate deliciousness with a bit of spicy!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- large frozen banana (broken into chunks)
- 1 c milk of choice
- 2 T cocoa powder
- 2-3 tsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a high powered blender. Blend well until smooth.
- Enjoy! Feel free to add a touch more cayenne if you like to play on the wild side
Notes
- Add the cayenne slowly--you don't want to overdo it!
- I typically use either unsweetened vanilla almond milk or whole milk. Both are delicious and it typically depends on what I have around or what is closest in reach (truth....).
- You can make it into a smoothie bowl by using less milk. Try about 2/3 c milk instead of the full cup! Top it with granola, fruit, coconut, chocolate chips and more!
