Ingredients

  • Cocoa Powder: A couple of generous tablespoons 30ml. Make sure it’s unsweetened.
  • Banana: Just one medium-sized the riper the better (around 100g if you’re the weighing kind).
  • Chocolate-flavored Whey Protein Powder: Another two tablespoons 30ml of this. Yum!

Instructions

  • LET’S WHIP THIS UP!
  • Banana Business: First off, grab that banana, peel it and give it a good mashing in a bowl.
  • Add the Choco Goodness: Now, stir in those 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Mix until it’s all friendly and combined.
  • Protein Time: In goes the chocolate whey protein powder. Mix again till smooth.
  • Mug Time: Split that delightful mixture between two trusty mugs.
  • Zap it: Pop a mug in the microwave. 1.5 to 2 minutes should do the trick. Watch as it rises like a mini volcano. Do the same with mug numero dos.
  • Patience: Let it cool for a minute or two. It’s hot stuff!
  • LITTLE TRICKS UP MY SLEEVE
  • Sweetness Overload: If your banana’s super ripe, you’re in for a sweeter treat. If it’s not, no sweat!
  • Vegans, Listen Up: Switch out whey protein for your fav plant-based variant.
  • Microwave Moods: Each microwave is its own beast. Yours might be faster or slower. So, peek in to avoid overcooking.
  • Feeling Fancy: Mix in some crushed nuts or a handful of berries. Why not?
