Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, peeled and broken into pieces

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, adjustable based on desired sweetness

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Banana: Begin by peeling the ripe banana and breaking it into smaller pieces. This step will ensure that the banana blends smoothly into the mix.

    Combine Ingredients: In your blender, place the broken banana pieces along with the almond milk, cocoa powder, mini chocolate chips, fresh mint leaves, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for approximately 30-60 seconds, or until all the ingredients are completely combined into a creamy consistency. Make sure there are no visible chunks of mint leaves or banana.

        Taste and Modify: After blending, taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a little more honey or maple syrup. If you want a stronger mint flavor, add a few extra mint leaves and blend again briefly.

          Serve: Once smooth and to your liking, pour the smoothie into a tall glass.

            Garnish for Presentation: For a beautiful final touch, sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top and add a sprig of fresh mint as a garnish. This enhances both the visual appeal and the flavor!

              Enjoy Your Creation: Serve immediately and indulge in the refreshing combination of mint and rich chocolate flavors!
