Tips:

  • Adjust the sweetness: The amount of honey or maple syrup you add will depend on how ripe your bananas are and how sweet you like your milkshake. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use unsweetened almond milk: Unsweetened almond milk is a great way to make your milkshake healthier without sacrificing creaminess. You can also use other types of unsweetened plant-based milk, such as soy milk or oat milk.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder: If you're looking for a more protein-packed milkshake, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. This is a great way to boost your energy levels and keep you feeling full longer.
  • Get creative with toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for your banana chocolate milkshake. Try adding a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, some chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
