Instructions

Place the frozen banana into a high-speed blender.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, cocoa powder, almond butter, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure your banana is fully frozen before blending to achieve the thickest, ice cream-like consistency. If you prefer a thinner shake, add a splash more almond milk. You can top the drink with a sprinkle of cacao nibs or a dash of cinnamon for extra depth if desired.
