How to Make Chocolate Smoothie with Hazelnuts

Step One

The first thing you need to do is toast the hazelnuts if they aren’t already toasted. Toasting makes them crunchier and brings out their nutty flavor. Let them cool.

Step Two

Now, add the milk to the blender first. This makes it easier for the blades to move. Then, peel the banana and chop it into small pieces before adding it to the blender. Add the cocoa powder, roasted hazelnuts, vanilla, and honey, if using. Add ice cubes to make a refreshing, cold smoothie.

Step Three

Blend on high speed for one to two minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a few more ice cubes.

Step Four

Finally, pour the smoothie into a tall glass, sprinkle some ground hazelnuts over it, and enjoy immediately!
