Chocolate Milkshake Smoothie Tips

Use frozen bananas for natural sweetness and a thick creamy consistency.
Add more cocoa powder or dark chocolate to make the recipe more decadent.
Add more milk if you’d prefer a thinner shake.
If desired, serve topped with ice cream or whipped cream with a dash of chocolate sauce.
You can easily make this shake vegan by using vegan hazelnut butter and replacing milk with dairy-free milk such as oat, soy, or almond milk.
With this recipe as a base, you can make other smoothie milkshakes:

replace hazelnut butter with nutella, peanut butter, or any other nut flavor you’d prefer
replace half of the milk with strong cold brewed coffee to make a mocha smoothie

If you have a leftover chocolate milkshake smoothie, freeze it in an ice cube tray and blend it again with more milk to enjoy the smoothie again, or fill ice pop molds to enjoy chocolatey popsicles.
You can also add ground flax seeds (about 1 tsp) for more nutrition without affecting the flavor of the smoothie.
Add granola on the top for crunchiness and more fiber.
