Per serving, roughly.

If you don’t have protein yogurt available, feel free to replace it with normal Greek yogurt (same quantity). That would bring down the total calories to 220 and protein content to 21g.

Feel free to add nuts and seeds. I like this smoothie very smooth so don’t really bother with these :)

Ingredients

Protein Yogurt - 170g
Banana - 140g (Frozen or fresh)
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 5g
Zero Cal/Sugar French Vanilla Syrup - 2 tbsp (30mL)
Optional (for extra sweetness): Dates - 16g (44 cal) / Caramel Sauce - 8g (26 cal)
Optional Toppings: Dark Chocolate Shavings - 1 tbsp; Caramel Sauce - to drizzle; Instant coffee powder - 1-2 tsp

Method

Use chilled or normal yogurt as per preference.
Layer the ingredients in a blender - yogurt, cocoa powder, dates and bananas - in that order and blend until smooth. Keep it chunky if you like that way.
Add a bit of water to give it a slightly runny consistency.
Top it with whatever you like!
