Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk or non-dairy alternative
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon honey optional - leave out if wanting to make it added sugar free
- ½ cup ice (about a handful of ice cubes)
Instructions
- Mix ¼ cup milk or non-dairy alternative (I use almond milk) with 1 tablespoon chia seeds. Stir every 5 minutes until the seeds absorb the liquid and become more of a pudding - takes about 15 minutes.
- Blend the frozen banana, yogurt and gelled chia seeds.
- Add in the cacao, cinnamon, vanilla and honey. Stir so that the powder blends into the mixture. Then blend away until mixed well!
- Add in the ice cubes, blend well - enjoy!
