After 1 minute, transfer the banana and almond milk to a blender or food processor. Â Add the cocoa powder and vanilla. Â Puree until smooth.

Chef Katie’s Tips: Â
Mocha Flavor: For a “mocha” version of this recipe, add 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the banana and almond milk before microwaving. Â You’ll have rich coffee flavor, great for a fancy brunch dessert.
No Refined Syrups or Sugar: I’m on a mission I’m to get rid of empty calories. While other recipes might use refined sugars, maple syrup, or honey for sweetness, these sweeteners all lack fiber and can leave you hungry. This recipe uses dates — full of fiber and healthy nutrition to keep you satisfied!
