Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 whole frozen banana, sliced into coins Provides natural sweetness and a creamy base; use fresh banana if you prefer a thinner texture.
  • 1 tbsp coconut cream Adds creaminess and a tropical flavor; canned coconut milk works as a substitute for a more liquid consistency.
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk Keeps it dairy-free and light; substitute with coconut milk for an extra coconut kick.
  • 1 tsp chia seeds Packs a protein punch and wholesome fiber; flax seeds make an excellent alternative.
  • 1 tbsp almond butter Enriches the flavor while providing healthy fats; any nut or seed butter will work beautifully.
  • ½ cup ice Offers a frosty texture; adjust amount for desired consistency.
  • 28 g vanilla whey protein powder Optional for an additional protein boost; omit for a Whole30 compliant version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender or Vitamix.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. Prepare ingredients the night before for a quick morning option. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey if needed.
