Ingredients
  

  • Cocoa Powder: A couple of generous tablespoons 30ml. Make sure it’s unsweetened.

  • Chocolate-flavored Whey Protein Powder: Another two tablespoons 30ml of this. Yum!

Method
 

  1. LET’S WHIP THIS UP!
  2. Banana Business: First off, grab that banana, peel it and give it a good mashing in a bowl.
  3. Add the Choco Goodness: Now, stir in those 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Mix until it’s all friendly and combined.
  4. Protein Time: In goes the chocolate whey protein powder. Mix again till smooth.
  5. Mug Time: Split that delightful mixture between two trusty mugs.
  6. 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.
  7. Patience: Let it cool for a minute or two. It’s hot stuff!
  8. LITTLE TRICKS UP MY SLEEVE
