Things You'll Need

• 2 cups almond milk
• Blender
• 1/2 cup of Ice
• 1 banana (chopped)
• 2 tbsp. cacao powder
• 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• Raspberries

Instructions

1. Pour two cups of almond milk into a blender filled with 1/2 cup of ice.

2. Add one chopped banana to the blender.

3. Pour two tablespoons of cacao powder into the blender over the banana.

4. Place 1/3 cup of vanilla yogurt into the blender with the other ingredients. The yogurt gives a more thick and smoothie-like consistency.
