- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Directions
Step 1
Add the rolled oats and almond milk to a blender. Let them sit for 1–2 minutes to allow the oats to soften slightly.
Step 2
Peel and slice the frozen banana into smaller chunks for easier blending, if necessary, and add it to the blender.
Step 3
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and protein powder (if using) to the blender.
Step 4
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in honey or maple syrup at this stage.
Step 5
Add the ice cubes for a refreshing, chilled consistency.
Step 6
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Step 7
Pour the smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup if you're on the move.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a dusting of cocoa powder for presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
