Good to know

Chef's tip

For a particularly creamy texture, use a banana that has been frozen beforehand. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract to give the flavors more depth.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Possible for up to 1 month in bags or ice cube trays. The texture becomes more liquid after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Oxidation and separation of the layers quickly degrade texture and nutrients. Drink within 2 hours for optimal quality.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Making it just before drinking ensures maximum freshness and nutritional quality.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, drink fresh.

Variations

Rim the glass with shredded coconut.
Sprinkle with crushed almonds and dark chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately to enjoy the creaminess.

Mistakes to avoid

Using a banana that is not ripe enough: it provides the sweetness.
Forgetting to cut the banana into pieces before blending.
Waiting to serve: enjoy it immediately.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make this smoothie?

Peel the ripe banana, cut it into pieces and put it in the blender with the coconut milk, unsweetened cocoa, maple syrup and crushed ice, then blend until creamy.

How do you get a nice presentation?

Lightly moisten the rim of the glass and dip it in shredded coconut, pour in the smoothie, then sprinkle the top with crushed almonds and dark chocolate shavings for crunch.

Can you replace the maple syrup?

Maple syrup adds a natural sweetness that pairs well with cocoa and coconut milk. You can adjust the amount depending on how ripe the banana is and your taste.

When should you enjoy the smoothie?

Serve it right after blending: the crushed ice makes it nice and cold and thick, and this energizing drink works for breakfast as well as an indulgent snack.
