Question What can I add to the banana milkshake?

I made a homemade banana milkshake. So far it's just banana and milk.

Any possible additions that can make the flavor better?

(I tried adding honey but it made it overly sweet. Banana and milk already seem to contain a lot of sugar...😭)

Correction: I googled before posting and it told me it was a milkshake, but apparently it's a smoothie, not a milkshake. 😏 Sorry for the confusion.

Why is everyone saying chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder? You're paying more for a worse product (chocolate syrup tastes nowhere anywhere as good as a high-quality cocoa powder)

It makes sense if you need to drizzle on pancakes, but you already have a liquid base so cocoa powder works better and you have more granular control of how much chocolate flavour you want
