# What You'll Need:

09 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut

10 - 1 tablespoon cacao nibs

11 - 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced

01 - Combine bananas, yogurt, cacao powder, honey or maple syrup, and almond milk in blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

02 - Pour the blended cacao mixture evenly into two serving bowls.

04 - Enjoy the bowl right away while toppings remain crunchy and smoothie is chilled.

01 -

It tastes like dessert for breakfast but actually fuels you through until lunch
The texture is somewhere between ice cream and pudding, which feels like a small luxury on busy mornings

02 -

If your base is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time—its easy to thin out but impossible to thicken back up
Frozen bananas are worth the extra prep time for that creamy, almost ice cream like texture

03 -

Run your blender on high for at least 45 seconds to get that silky smooth consistency
Let the finished base sit for 2 minutes before adding toppings—this thickens it slightly
