This rich and velvety Banana-Cocoa Smoothie proves that healthy can taste indulgent. Silken tofu adds a luxuriously smooth texture and a boost of plant-based protein, while frozen banana gives natural sweetness and body. Blended with cocoa and your choice of non-dairy milk, it’s a perfect morning energizer, post-workout refuel, or guilt-free chocolate fix any time of day. Packed with plant-based protein from silken tofu, potassium from bananas, and antioxidants from cocoa, this smoothie delivers sustained energy and heart-healthy goodness in every sip.
