Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1 ripe banana, frozen
- 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly and chop it into small pieces. No need to peel; the skin adds nutrients and color.
- Peel and slice the ripe banana into chunks. If using a frozen banana, ensure it’s cut into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Measure out the coconut milk, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and chia seeds.
- In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped zucchini, frozen banana, coconut milk, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add chia seeds if using.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until creamy and smooth. If too thick, add more coconut milk or water.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. For a thicker smoothie, add ice cubes and blend again. For a thinner smoothie, add a splash more coconut milk.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with more honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend again to incorporate.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder and blend again.
- Pour the smoothie into your favorite glasses, such as mason jars for a rustic touch.
- Garnish with shredded coconut, chocolate chips, a slice of banana, or a sprig of mint for added flair.
- Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. Grab a straw or spoon and dig in!
