Preparation
Step 1
In a blender, combine the milk, banana, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and cayenne and blend. Don’t worry if the chocolate chips are still a little chunky.
Step 2
Taste, and add sweetener if necessary (I used overripe bananas and didn’t need any additional sweetener).
Step 3

Chef's notes
To make the raw/extra-healthy version:
Substitute cacao nibs for the chocolate chips, cacao powder for the cocoa powder, and add 1 teaspoon maca powder for a nutritious malted flavor.
Make it dairy free/vegan:
Use your favorite non-dairy milk and non-dairy chocolate chips. Vegans, if you add sweetener, make it maple syrup.
