Packed with rich chocolate flavor, creamy peanut butter, and wholesome ingredients, it’s both delicious and energizing. **Ingredients:** - 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for a lighter option) - 1 ripe banana (frozen for a thicker texture) - 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste) - 1/4 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative) - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition) - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1-2 ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie) **Instructions:** 1. Add the milk, banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey, rolled oats, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), and vanilla extract to a blender. 2.

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup. 4. Add ice cubes if you prefer a colder smoothie and blend again briefly.
