-5 ml vanilla extract

-3g cinnamon powder

-A few grains of salt

Getting started:

-Place frozen bananas, almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, and salt one at a time in the food processor, and blend until smooth and creamy (add more milk if the mixture looks dry, not sticky). .
