Chocolate Avocado Smoothie (super rich, creamy, thick!)
Servings 2 small smothies
This chocolate avocado smoothie is amazingly healthy, quick and simple, and outrageously creamy. Naturally gluten-free with paleo and vegan options.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for paleo/vegan (see below for more info)
- 1/4-1/2 cup (60 - 120 ml) cashew milk or whatever milk you'd like
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder I like Dutch-process or Hershey's Special Dark
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 1/2 (85 grams) avocado
- 1 banana medium, about 120 grams without the peel, cold
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup honey (for non-vegan) or another liquid sweetener, optional
Instructions
- Put everything, everything for the sweetener, and starting with 1/4 cup of milk, into the blender (or food processor) in the order listed.
- Blend until it's very creamy. Add more milk, if needed, until it's the desired thickness. Taste and add sweetener, if desired. I use 3 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- Serve immediately or keep covered in the refrigerator for up to one day.
Notes
- You could also add more banana instead of sweetener, but that will decrease the chocolate taste and make it more banana-y.
- Coconut yogurt will yield a thick smoothie like you see in the photos but you could also use coconut milk for a thinner version. If using yogurt, make sure that it's compliant with your diet (so - no added junk for paleo).
