Bananas. Use frozen bananas to get a thick texture. If you’re not a fan, use frozen avocado instead.

Cocoa. Use unsweetened cocoa to add just the right amount of chocolate flavor.
Yogurt. I used plain Greek yogurt to boost the protein. You can also use regular yogurt or vanilla yogurt.
Milk. I used 1% milk, but you can use any dairy milk or plant-based milk.
Sweetener. Use honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup for sweetness.
