Notes

Cocoa powder will work too, although more processed than cacao.
It is essential to use frozen bananas if looking for a super creamy smoothie.
If you only have fresh strawberries, then try to plan ahead and freeze them first for a few hours. This will create a super thick and chilled drink. You could also add a few ice cubes to make your drink colder, although this will dilute the flavor.
