You wont believe how easy it is to make this Dirty Monkey that would rival any coffee shop creation!

Have you ever had one of those “Why didn’t I make this sooner” moments Well, that was exactly me. I was standing in the kitchen with a half-melted banana in one hand while chocolate dripped down my elbow. Not my finest moment.

It all started during a beach trip last summer. You know the kind where sunburned noses are the norm and there’s sand in every single snack bag while the kids bounce off the walls from too many marshmallows. One night, someone casually mentioned a drink. “You’ve never had a Dirty Monkey?” they asked, shocked—as if I had just admitted I didn’t know what pizza was. A bit dramatic, honestly.

Anyway, I decided to try it when we got back home. And let me tell you—my blender has been working overtime ever since because this drink is creamy and chocolatey and it has that perfect tropical twist that instantly makes you feel like you’re on a vacation, even if you’re just sipping it while hiding in the laundry room.

By the way, here’s a quick tip—never skip the banana. It’s the star of the show. I found that out the hard way when I once tried making it with just ice cream. Let’s just say… big mistake.

So, have you ever tried a Dirty Monkey If not, you’re seriously missing out. If yes, you already know how good it is. Either way—you’re in for a treat.

What to Eat with Dirty Monkey ??

I love having this Dirty Monkey with desserts and cookies because it goes great with them. My husband prefers to have it with banana bread, which is also great. Because this drink is sweet, it also goes well with salty foods for a balanced combination.
