Directions
Tos your frozen banana, almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into a high-powered blender. Blend everything together until it’s smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. If the mixture feels a bit too crumbly, just add a splash more almond milk to help it come together. You can enjoy it right away as a soft-serve treat, or if you prefer it a little firmer, pop it in the freezer for an hour or two before digging in.
