Notes

For a sweeter banana coffee smoothie, use a very ripe frozen banana and adjust the additional sweetener to taste.
Monk fruit sweetener, maple syrup, honey, or another preferred sweetener can be used. If making the recipe vegan, choose a plant-based sweetener and vegan protein powder.
For an extra breakfast-style touch, add a small amount of rolled oats. A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract also works beautifully with the coffee and cocoa flavors.
