TIPS
Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweet taste and smooth texture.

You can use either unsweetened cocoa powder or sweetened cocoa powder based on your preference for sweetness.
Adjust the shake’s consistency by adding more or less milk based on your preference.
For a more decadent version, you can top the shake with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, you can use a plant-based milk alternative like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.

Feel free to get creative and add some extras like a scoop of chocolate ice cream or a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for added crunch.
