1. Prep the Glass: Melt your dark chocolate in a small bowl. Dip the rim of your tall glass into the chocolate, then immediately dip it into a mixture of shredded coconut and crushed almonds. Let it sit for a minute to set.

2. Blend: Add the almond milk, frozen banana, almond butter, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, and vanilla into a high-speed blender.

3. Process: Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
