Ingredients
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 tbsp raw cacao or carob, or more to taste

  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • about 8 ice cubes
  • a splash of pure vanilla extract, optional

Notes
If you are sensitive to caffeine be very careful with raw cacao. It contains Theobromine (a sister molecule to caffeine), which affects many people the same way that caffeine does. I do not drink any caffeine because it affects me greatly and if I consume cacao I feel the same effects.
