Filling and nutrient-dense, this chocolate avocado smoothie is a delicious breakfast drink or post workout snack. The recipe is dairy-free, low carb and sugar-free.

Ingredients
- ½ avocado flesh only
- ¾ cup almond milk unsweetened (180ml, use 1 cup if your avocado is large)
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon powdered sweetener ***see notes
- ½ tsp vanilla extract optional, but recommended
- 3-4 Ice cubes optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender, starting with the milk.
- Blend for around 30 seconds or until completely smooth. If necessary, scrape down the sides in between.

Notes
- 8g net carbs per serve. Makes 1 large glass of smoothie.
- *** I use powdered sweetener to keep the smoothie sugar free and keto friendly. If sugar or carbs are not a concern, feel free to swap out the sweetener for honey or maple syrup, use oat milk instead of almond milk and / or add ½ a banana (fresh or frozen banana both work).
- This smoothie is very thick. For a thinner smoothie, add a little more almond milk or nut milk of your choice.
- Option to use frozen avocado. In this case, omit the ice cubes.
- Other possible add-ins:
- Best served straight away. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- Protein powder - for a protein boost
- Chia seeds or hemp hearts - to add fiber
- Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
- Nut butter - makes the smoothie more filling. Use 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
- Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- Spinach - I love to throw in a handful of baby spinach leaves. You can't taste them. They are the perfect hidden veggie, and you're getting one step closer to your five a day!
- Mint - add a few fresh mint leaves for a chocolate mint smoothie.
- Coconut Cream - replace some of the almond milk for an even richer taste - like an avocado chocolate milkshake
