This was delicious! Although, I did alter it a bit. I used 2 T chocolate syrup instead of 1, and I used 1/2 c. vanilla ice cream and 1/2 c. milk instead of 1 c. milk. The extra chocolate really brought out the chocolaty flavor, and the ice cream helped to thicken the smoothie, as well as adding a little extra flavor. Without these alterations, I imagine that the smoothie would be bland. I made this for my little brother and I. He loved it just as much as I did, and begged me to make it again. I definitely will! It was so tasty, refreshing, and easy! Who wouldn't make this again?

This is a really good recipie but it is a bit bland. To liven up the flavor I added 1tsp. of Vanilla Extract and a little sugar to cut the tartness of the chocolate!

Way too bland for me!! Needs a lot more flavor. I had to add 2 packets of splenda just to be able to drink it

I made a double recipe using two frozen bananas and only four ice cubes with my two cups skim milk. I used four tablespoons of Hershey's Special Dark syrup, yummy stuff! I also used four tablespoons of wheat germ as I do in all my smoothies.

great smoothie! I added a little sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla and used chocolate milk. Have lots of bananas to use up so will be making this often. Will try using frozen banana and omit the ice as well.

This was really quite good, although I added some of my own ingredients because many were saying it was not sweet enough. This Is what I did.. 1 cup of milk 5 icecubes 25ml of chocolate sauce (I have a sweet tooth!) 1 banana A pinch of vanilla essence Mix it all together and.......WALLAH!

Chocolate taste in a smoothie isn't for everyone. I made this for my son who's a 'fruit-reluctant chocaholic.' However, he said it tasted weird with the chocolate mixed with the fruit taste. I'm also a chocaholic (who likes fruit too) and I agreed with him. I would suggest making one and giving it a taste test before making a huge batch. If you like the combo, it's a good recipe! I may try it again with Nestle powder like someone else suggested, since it's not a sharp as chocolate syrup.

Recipe was very bland, I had to add sugar and more chocolate syrup. I think it needs more banana too. Would not make this again

This is really good. Instead of chocolate sauce, I used a whey protein powder in a chocolate flavor. It tasted so good. I didn't have to add sugar or anything, and it's so healthy!

It was good. I followed other reviewers' suggestions, and used 2 bananas and 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup. I am by no means a smoothie lover, but I liked this one. I made the mistake to use not-so-ripe bananas, so I guess, with the right ones, it could have been even better.

Since I'm lactose intolerant and mostly vegetarian, I don't use cow's milk for much of anything edible. My normal smoothie base is soy milk and tofu, with banana for breakfast - and I frequently use chocolate soy milk in this one. Love it! When Mom had teeth pulled for dentures, she was getting tired of Jell-o and applesauce - and realized the lack of protein in the Jell-o-and-applesauce routine was making her light-headed, so she jumped at smoothies. No longer a problem with the tofu addition! I use a stick blender, right in the oversized glass. Thanks for posting this!

To make it sugar free and lower calorie I used 1 T. cocoa powder with baking Splenda (amount adjusted to taste). I also used a frozen banana rather than ice (it makes it so much creamier!) and added about 2 tsp. vanilla. Very tasty and a great way to get calcium, antioxidants, and potassium.

This was pretty good. I would probably add more fruit and not as much ice next time. The kids loved it.

Excellent! Very simple, very easy, and very tasty. We use 2 teaspoons of unsweetened choco with 4 splenda packets. This makes for a very low-cal, healthy, delicious and filling snack.
