Ingredients
1 banana, sliced and frozen
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
½ cup cottage cheese
½ cup milk
2 teaspoons honey
Ice (optional)

1. Add banana, cocoa, peanut butter, cottage cheese, milk, and honey to a blender.

3. Add ice for a thicker texture and blend again if desired.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with plant-based yogurt. Use a frozen banana for the best creamy texture. Adjust sweetness by skipping or reducing the honey.
